Manufacturing performance (availability, quality, cost and benefits) mean metrics Correct Answer: metrics that describe the Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) characteristics of a component, asset or even facility Inherent Availability Correct Answer: measure of the variables inherent in the design that affect availability. In the calculation of downtime, it usually includes only active

repair time. It does not include preventive maintenance time and administrative or logistic delays, but does include corrective maintenance downtime Inherent Availability Formula Correct Answer: Ai = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR) Where MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures And MTTR = Mean Time to Repair (corrective maintenance only) Achieved Availability Correct Answer: probability that an item, when used under design conditions in an ideal support environment, will perform satisfactorily. It includes both active repair time and preventive maintenance time, but excludes administrative and logistic delay times Achieved Availability Formula Correct Answer: Aa = MTBM / (MTBM + MDTM) Where MTBM = Mean Time Between Maintenance And MDTM = Mean Downtime for Maintenance Operational Availability Correct Answer: probability that an item, when used under design conditions in an operational environment, will perform satisfactorily.
