Work unit code (WUC) is equal to zero
- C.
WUC is not equal to zero.
- D.
ATC is not equal to zero.
Correct Answer
C. WUC is not equal to zero.Explanation
The correct answer is WUC is not equal to zero. This is because the mean time to repair (MTTR) is calculated based on the work unit code (WUC). If the WUC is not equal to zero, it means that there is a specific work unit that needs to be performed in order to repair the equipment. This indicates that the MTTR will be affected by the specific work unit, making it different from the on- and off-equipment MTTR when the WUC is equal to zero.Rate this question:

What are the two types of failure indicated by mean time between failure (MTBF)?
- A.
Critical and non-critical
- B.
Failure and non-failure
- C.
Inherent and induced.
- D.
Inherent and critical
Correct Answer
C. Inherent and induced.Explanation
The correct answer is "Inherent and induced." Mean time between failure (MTBF) is a measure of the reliability of a system or component. Inherent failures are those that occur due to internal factors or design flaws, while induced failures are caused by external factors such as environmental conditions or human error. By considering both inherent and induced failures, MTBF provides a comprehensive understanding of the reliability and potential failure modes of a system.Rate this question:

In the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) what is the maximum number of days allowed for calculating the mean time between failure (MTBF)?
- A.
30
- B.
60
- C.
90
- D.
180
Correct Answer
D. 180Explanation
In the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS), the maximum number of days allowed for calculating the mean time between failure (MTBF) is 180. This means that when analyzing the data in IMDS, the system considers a maximum time period of 180 days to calculate the average time between failures. This allows for a comprehensive analysis of the system's reliability and performance over a significant period of time.Rate this question:
