"Thus what the LION said, MDBF is a number, it is a pretty number, well understood by bean pushers,"Say the magic word, and win a hundred dollars. Bean pushers. Many people's yearly raises depend on MDBF numbers, and there are (I suspect) ways to massage those figures. Figures don't lie, but liars figure, I believe was attributed to Mark Twain. PS, I think they also created a new measurement years ago to get away from the word "failure." MDBSI = mean distance between service interruption. And if the dispatcher had a put-in to take the immediate place of the arriving bad order train, well, there was no service interruption, really, was there? Go figure. |
