MTTR & MTBR in SAP PM

MTTR and MTBR are performance measuring parameters for Plant maintenance.

MTTR

The average duration of a machine breakdown, MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), is calculated from the
individual history of a piece of equipment. This gives the following formula:

The key figure MTTR is calculated in hours.

First breakdown 10 hours

Second breakdown 05 hours
Number of breakdowns 02
MTTR = 10 + 5 / 2 = 7.5 hours

MTBR

The average duration between two machine breakdowns, MTBR for short (Average Time between
Repair), is calculated from the individual history of the equipment. This gives the following formula:

The key figure MTBR is calculated in hours.

The following example shows how the MTBR is calculated:
Acquisition date of pump A 01.01.94
First breakdown 10.01.94
Downtime 10 hours
Second breakdown 20.01.94
Downtime 5 hours
Number of breakdowns 2
MTBR = (19 * 24 - 10) / 2 or X + Y (hr) / 2
= (456 - 10) / 2 or (216 + 240 - 10) / 2
= 223 hours
