Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): basic measure of the maintainability of
repairable items, it represents the average (mean) time required to repair a failed equipment.
Preventive Maintenance: maintenance carried out at predetermined intervals,
equipment condition or according to prescribed criteria and intended to reduce the probability of failure or the degradation of the function of an equipment.
Process Hazard Analysis: detailed examination of a process in order to
identify and characterize any hazards associated with that process.
Redundancy: the existence of more than one means at a given instant of time for performing a required function.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance: process used to determine the
maintenance requirements of any physical asset in its operating context.
Risk: combination of the probability, (or frequency) of occurrence of a defined
hazard and the magnitude of the consequences of the occurrence.
