Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of maintenance can be ascribed to a technical services team which uses the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) to schedule a program for equipment replacement?
A
Physical
B
Pro-Active
C
Reactive
D
Corrective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the average time between system breakdowns. Mean time between failures is a crucial maintenance metric to measure performance, safety, and equipment design, especially for critical or complex assets like generators or airplanes.

Detailed explanation-2: -5.4. Corrective maintenance (CM) involves the replacement or repair of equipment after it fails. In response to equipment failure, CM tasks identify the failure (it may be an equipment component or equipment item) and rectify the failure so that the equipment can be reinstated and the facility production restored.

Detailed explanation-3: -MTBF vs MTTR – Mean time before failure vs mean time to repair. MTBF and MTTR are related as different steps in a larger process. MTBF measures the time between failures for devices that need to be repaired, MTTR is simply the time that it takes to repair those failed devices.
