Reliability refers to the probability that an equipment, machine, or system will perform its intended function without failure for a specified period of time under stated operating conditions. In Maintenance Management, reliability is an important measure because it indicates the ability of equipment to operate continuously and efficiently without unexpected breakdowns. A highly reliable machine reduces downtime, maintenance costs, and production losses. Reliability is generally measured through parameters such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), failure rate, and probability of failure-free operation. Quality and reliability are closely related concepts but they are different in their meaning and application. Quality refers to the degree to which a product, service, or equipment conforms to specified standards and requirements at the time of manufacture or delivery.
