Availability

The share of planned production time during which equipment or a process is actually running.

Examples

01The daily operations board shows availability of the press line by shift: 88 % on early shift, 79 % on late shift.
02A weekly review compares availability with the 90 % target and the last four weeks, showing a steady decline on press 3.
03After the hydraulic unit on press 3 is overhauled, availability is tracked for two months to confirm the gain holds.
