question

What about the MTBF did not work out? It features an option for the "Down Function" to call an operator to the affected object who then 'repairs' the machine for the duration determined in the Down Time field.

You would have to choose fitting distributions to arrive at the down time percentages mentioned in your post. Which ones to use specifically you will have to determine yourself based on the breakdown profile (many short failures, few long failures) you want to achieve.

You could also pre-determine the downtimes at the start of each day to fall within the mentioned ranges. For example in a regular user event that writes the values to a global table. The MTBF would then read those values instead of determining its own random values.
