MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures
Table of contents MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a key parameter for assessing the reliability of machines, equipment and entire production systems. In practice, MTBF shows how long a piece of equipment can operate without failure before another failure occurs. It is one of the most important indicators used in TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and in [...]
MTTR - Mean Time to Repair
Table of Contents MTTR, or Mean Time to Repair, is a key indicator of the average time it takes to repair a piece of equipment or machine after a breakdown. Regular monitoring of this parameter allows companies to minimise downtime, increase production efficiency and reduce operating costs. In this article, you will learn: what exactly is MTTR, how to calculate MTTR step by step, why [...]
MTTF - Mean Time to Failure
Table of contents Equipment reliability is a key factor affecting the efficiency of production processes and operational safety. One of the most important indicators to assess this reliability is the MTTF (Mean Time to Failure), i.e. the average operating time of the equipment until the first failure occurs. Find out from our article what exactly the MTTF indicator is, how to calculate it and how to use it in [...]
OTIF (On-Time-In-Full)
Table of contents The On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) indicator is a key metric used in supply chain management. It allows you to assess supplier performance and monitor the degree to which customer expectations are met in two key aspects: Timeliness-Delivery of the order according to the agreed deadline. Completeness-Delivery of all ordered products without shortcomings in quantity or quality. The OTIF value is expressed as a percentage and shows how often a company [...]
First Time Quality
Table of contents The First Time Quality (FTQ) indicator, or quality first time, is a key performance measure for manufacturing processes. It indicates the percentage of products that meet all quality requirements after the first execution, without the need for additional corrections or repairs. A high FTQ indicator means that a company is effectively controlling and optimising its production processes, which translates into lower [...]
Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Table of contents The OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) index is one of the most important analytical tools used in modern production management. It synthesises the effectiveness of the use of machinery and equipment in a production facility. Thanks to OEE, it is possible not only to monitor the current state, but above all to identify areas requiring optimisation. OEE is the product of three basic indicators 1. [...].
