Not "non-repairable" failure

The article says MTFF is for a non-repairable failure, but that is not accurate. Whether a failure is repairable or not, MTFF applies. MTFF is simply the mean time for the first failure, a statistical measure of how long a component is likely to work before requiring repair or replacement.

MTTF is not the same thing, it is closer to MTBF that MTTF and is a statistical measure of working time between failures. Decolores9 (talk) 12:34, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
