Abstract
Availability performance is an efficiency measure. As
input data, mean times between failures, mean times to
repair and failure criticality are required. Detailed
availability performance analysis of a production system
requires a model, which takes into account the logical
structure of the system and the storage capacity between
process stages. The model can also take into account the
effect of production disturbances and planned stoppages
if corresponding data is available. A comprehensive
availability performance model is a practical tool when
improvements are to be directed effectively, strategies
tested, or alternative investment proposals compared.
