Reliability reflects the probability that a product will malfunction or fail within a specific period of time. The reliability can be measured as the mean time to failure (MTTF), or the mean time between failures (MTBF), or the failure rate per unit of time. Reliability is normally important to customers in that the costs of maintenance and downtime become expensive. These costs can be used to determine the quality differences among products.
