MTBUR (Mean Time Before Unscheduled Removal)
MTBUR, or Mean Time Before Unscheduled Removal, is a measure of the durability and dependability of an item in use. It is most commonly used in procurement settings to evaluate suppliers’ contractual commitments and guide purchasing decisions. Through careful analysis of MTBUR measures, organizations can gain insights into how long a product can be expected to remain operational, as well as its repair and maintenance needs. This information can then be used to ensure that products purchased are of good quality and will operate effectively for extended periods of time.
