Re: Maintenance
There is a difference between mean time between failures and mean time between stops. Best practice for kiln MTBF in the cement industry is in excess of 750 hours, while MTBS is somewhat shorter. The problem with MTBF is that it is easier to massage the data and cheat because some stops are planned and therefore do not count. In that situation it is easy to bring forward a planned stop when you have an unexpected unplanned stop.
