The Pacific Northwest (PNW), sometimes referred to as Cascadia, is a geographic region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and (loosely) by the Cascade Mountain Range on the east.
Mean time between failures (MTBF) describes the expected time between two failures for a repairable system, while mean time to failure (MTTF) denotes the expected time to failure for a non-repairable system. the MTBF is the sum of the operational periods divided by the number of observed failures.
During the competitive rounds it is a real challenge for a team to get the proper alignments of Performance, Size, Ideal Age, Price and Reliability (MTBF). This is an added note. In the Performance segment Reliability, Mean Time before Failure (MTBF), is the most important customer buying criteria at 43%. The MTBF range is 22000-27000 hours. Do not go beyond the MTBF of 27000 hours. Any increase in hours beyond the maximum range is a waste of money.
