MTBF, MTTR And Availability Calculator

MTBF, MTTR And Availability: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers operating hours. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published.

MTBF, MTTR And Availability Calculator is a planned calculator in the engineering section of Super Calculator, covering quality and reliability engineering.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: operating hours, failure count, repair hours, system topology (series, parallel, k-of-n) and component availabilities.

Outputs: MTBF, MTTR, failure rate, availability (%), annual downtime (hours) and nines of availability.

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: MTBF = total operating time / number of failures. MTTR = total repair time / number of repairs. Inherent availability A = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR). Series systems multiply availabilities; parallel redundant systems combine as 1 - product(1 - A_i).
