Understanding MTBF

Mean Time Between Failure attempts to estimate the length of time a given product is likely to operate before needing to be serviced or replaced. However, as with most generalized measurements of dependability, there are a wide range of variables that can impact the accuracy of published MTBF figures and, in some cases, render them completely irrelevant.
