The average running time (ART) is used for calculating a machinery components next schedules for maintenance jobs. For example: a maintenance job defined as to be done every 48 hours will be added to the schedules list if the component is in operation 24 hrs per day. If the component would run only 12 hours per day, the necessary maintenance job would be added to the schedules list every 4 days (= 4 x 12 hrs/d).
