P-F Curve
Maintenance definition:
The P-F Curve is a graphical representation of the time between the initial detection of a potential failure (P) and the actual occurrence of the failure (F). It is used in predictive maintenance to illustrate the window of opportunity for taking corrective action before a failure occurs. Understanding the P-F Curve helps maintenance teams prioritize inspections and interventions based on the criticality and condition of equipment.
