			<SimpleSection><Paragraph>MTBF is used for all machineries and all components. Manufacturers make use of MTBF for calculating the reliability of their product and for determining which guarantee can be given on their product.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>For example, a lamp consists of:</Paragraph>
				<TABLE border="1"><TBODY><TR><TD>A foot and shade</TD>
							<TD>these products never fail.</TD>
						</TR>
						<TR><TD>A light fitting</TD>
							<TD>MTBF is 500 hours.</TD>
						</TR>
						<TR><TD>A switch</TD>
							<TD>MTBF is 2000 hours.</TD>
						</TR>

				</TABLE>
				<Paragraph>The lamp's MTBF is:</Paragraph>
				<Formula><Paragraph UserLevel="Novice" UserType="Taskuser"> 
1/MTBF = 1/500 + 1/2000 MTBF = 2000/5 = 400 hours
				</Paragraph>
