Measuring TPM Effectiveness

What Is MTTF?

Mean Time To Fail­ure, or MTTF, is a key indi­ca­tor for the health of a plant main­te­nance sys­tem. MTTF tells us the aver­age length of time fail­ure, or lifes­pan, of a non-repairable unit or com­po­nent. Track­ing and improv­ing MTTF is a cen­tral part of TPM and build­ing a strong Planned Main­te­nance function.

Next Video What Is MTTR? 

Mean Time To Repair, or MTTR, is a key indi­ca­tor for the health of a plant main­te­nance sys­tem. MTTR tells us the aver­age length of time it takes to repair or ful­ly recov­er a piece of equip­ment after a fail­ure. The trend­ing of MTTR guides many deci­sions relat­ed to TPM and equip­ment man­age­ment. Learn the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences between Mean Time To Repair ver­sus Mean Time To Recovery.
