ACCT 2000 Chapter : Maintainance Reliabilityhr Om11 Ch17 Prev
Document Summary
When you complete this chapter you should be able to: describe how to improve system reliability, determine system reliability, determine mean time between failure (mtbf, distinguish between preventive and breakdown maintenance. When you complete this chapter you should be able to: describe how to improve maintenance, compare preventive and breakdown maintenance costs, define autonomous maintenance. The objective of maintenance and reliability is to maintain the capability of the system. Failure has far reaching effects on a firm"s. Maintenance is all activities involved in keeping a system"s equipment in working order. Reliability is the probability that a machine will function properly for a specified time. 2 = reliability of component 2 where and so on.
