Breakdown Frequency
Breakdown Frequency is a measure of the number of breakdowns that occur in a given period of time, usually expressed as the number of breakdowns per unit of time. It is a key metric used in maintenance operations and management to assess the reliability of a system or equipment. Breakdown frequency is calculated by dividing the total number of breakdowns by the total number of operating hours. A higher breakdown frequency indicates a lower reliability, while a lower breakdown frequency indicates a higher equipment reliability. Breakdown frequency is used to identify potential problems and to develop strategies to improve reliability and reduce downtime.
