How to Relate MTBF to System Availability

In this video, we cover how you can relate MTBF to system availability.

Availability metrics are expressed in terms of MTBF and MTTR. Think of it as calculating the availability based on the actual time that the machine is operating, excluding the time it takes for the machine to recover from breakdowns.

This is quantified by the following equation:
Availability = MTBF / [MTBF + MTTR]

Availability is one of the three factors contributing to the overall equipment effectiveness of the plant. The equation signifies the relationship between improving the MTBF and other metrics related to improving the plant's performance.
