Spanish term or phrase: eficacia de averías
This term is really confusing me, because I fail to see how errors/failures/malfunctions can be effective or efficient. Maybe I'm missing something?

I don't have much context but here it is (note: they are items in an Excel doc. which is why it doesn't all flow together):

GESTION DE RED Y MANTENIMIENTO

Tiempos Promedios de Reparación Planta Interna

En este mes los tiempos promedios se mantienen dentro de las metas propuestas en cada prioridad.

Eficacia de Averías - Planta Interna

Las prioridades 1, 3 y 4 superan las metas propuestas, las restantes se mantienen bajo los niveles de esperados.

The definition was quite helpful and I just might add a bit about 'repair' in there, although I believe it would be implied

Breakdown /Breakdown Repair Efficiency Rate


Explanation:
I don't think there's any doubt, given the previous and subsequent items.

Whatever you dcide to use, I think the key is to use rate, since efficiency would be expressed as a % probably.
