Understanding the difference between reliability and availability
Reliability can be defined as “the probability that an item will perform its intended functions for a specified interval under stated conditions”. It can be measured by Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and predicted Reliability (R) = e-?t, where t is the time in service. Availability can be defined as “the probability that an item […]
