Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

The Mean Time Between Failures of a repairable product calculation assume that the system is repaired after each failure and then returned to service immediately. MTBF only represents a top-level statistic and therefore is not suitable for predicting detailed time of failure, due to the uncertainty in the actual failure distribution which manifests itself in variability in the time to failure distribution.
