One of the most well-known ways of estimating product reliability is to calculate its MTBF, or Mean Time Between Failures. This brings up a common question: is MTBF the same as reliability? The short answer is no, which may surprise you. If MTBF isn’t the same as reliability, what exactly is it? Is there a […]
