What is FR(N)? How is it calculated? How are FR(N) and MTBF related?

MTBF

Mean Time Between Failures, a measure of reliability for a system, indicating the average time between failures.

  • Evaluate the Failure Rate (FR), Failure Rate Normalized (FR(N)), and Mean Interval Between Failures (MTBF).
  • Describe the importance of standard deviation in assessing the reliability of a product, machine, or process.

Final Answer :
FR(N) is the product failure number; it is the ratio of failed units to total operating hours. MTBF is the reciprocal of FR(N).
