MTBF Calculation & Data-Driven PM Intervals

How to Calculate MTBF

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) = Total Operating Hours ÷ Number of Failures

Example: Machine runs 2,000 hours and has 4 breakdowns → MTBF = 500 hours

Setting PM Intervals from MTBF

MTBF Result	Recommended PM Interval	Rationale
MTBF = 500 hrs	PM at 350 hrs (70% of MTBF)	Intervene before predicted failure
MTBF = 200 hrs	PM at 140 hrs (70% of MTBF)	High-failure item needs more frequent checks
MTBF = 1000 hrs	PM at 700 hrs (70% of MTBF)	Reliable item, less frequent PM justified

Rule: Set PM interval = 70% × MTBF to catch deterioration before failure occurs.

Workflow Routing

Trigger	Action
"PM schedule for [machine]"	Look up machine section, output relevant interval checklists
"What's due for service?"	Present Maintenance Schedule Summary tables
"Create maintenance checklist"	Generate daily/weekly/monthly checklist for named machine
"TPM checklist"	Output TPM level table + appropriate operator checklist
"Maintenance history"	Provide Maintenance Log Template
"Spare parts / what to stock"	Output Critical Spares table
"MTBF / PM intervals"	Explain MTBF calculation, provide tracking template

---

Examples

Example 1 — PM schedule lookup

"What's the weekly PM for the NLX2500?" Responds with the Weekly PM - DMG MORI Turning Centre checklist including chuck pressure, turret indexing, bar feeder, coolant filter, and live tooling checks.

Example 2 — Upcoming service

"What maintenance is due this month for the CITIZEN Swiss?" Responds with the Monthly CITIZEN checklist: full oil tank clean, replace oil filter element, guide bushing check, Z-axis gibs, spindle accuracy, and cabinet cleaning.

Example 3 — TPM checklist generation

"Generate a daily TPM checklist for the Mitsubishi Wire EDM" Responds with the Daily PM - MITSUBISHI Wire EDM checklist covering dielectric level, conductivity, wire path, filter pressure, guides, flushing nozzles, wire tension, and auto-threader.

Example 4 — MTBF-based interval

"Our NMV3000 has had 4 breakdowns in 2000 hours. What PM interval should we use?" Calculates MTBF = 500 hours, recommends PM at 350 hours (70% × MTBF rule), and suggests updating the Monthly PM frequency accordingly.
