MTBF, MTTR, MTTF, FIT – Explanation of Terms
The intent of this White Paper is to provide an understanding of MTBF and other product reliability methods. Understanding the methods for the lifecycle prediction for a product enables the customer to consider the tangible value of the product beyond set-features before purchasing it. MTBF, MTTR, MTTF & FIT are reliability terms based on methods and procedures for lifecycle predictions for a product. Customers often must include reliability data when determining what product to buy for their application. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure), MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) and FIT (Failure In Time) are ways of providing a numeric value based on a compilation of data to quantify a failure rate and the resulting time of expected performance. The numeric value can be expressed using any measure of time, but hours is the most common unit in practice.
