Organisations use key performance indicators (KPIs) to gauge their progress toward a business goal. Like how individuals track their development, maintenance organisations can use metrics to assess ...

You know how it is … you learned all this detail about electronics back in college and yes, you understood it then, but unless you’re using it day in and day out, that knowledge can fade and casual ...

In this episode, we explore Meantime to Repair (MTTR) and Meantime Before/Between Failure (MTBF) to better understand how these metrics are applied and calculated and how they can benefit ...

Data sheets for hard drives have always included a specification for reliability expressed in hours: commonly known as MTBF (mean time between failures), or sometimes the mean time to failure. Same ...

MTBF is a statistical measure, and as such, it can’t predict anything for a single unit. We can use that MTBF rating more accurately, however, to calculate that if we have 1,000 such drives operating ...

What are the key factors in optimizing mean time between failure (MTBF)? Developing the best strategy for MTBF. What to look for in MTBF test studies. For designers of engineered electronics powering ...

The statistics of mean time between failures (MTBF) and average failure rate (AFR) have gotten lots of attention lately in the storage world, especially with the release of three much-discussed ...

“The MTBF and MTTR of broadband connections are too high, so even if they are lower cost and higher bandwidth, I can’t afford to use them.” “MPLS provides me with SLAs; Internet connections don’t.” ...

Power supply reliability is important - no one wants their production line, measurement instrument, communications system or electronic product to stop working prematurely due to a failure. How is ...

What are the key factors in optimizing mean time between failure (MTBF)? Developing the best strategy for MTBF. What to look for in MTBF test studies. For designers of engineered electronics powering ...
