beschikbaarheidsfunctie
A beschikbaarheidsfunctie, or availability function in English, is a concept used to describe the likelihood that a service, system, or component will be operational and accessible at a given point in time. It is a crucial metric in fields like reliability engineering, operations management, and computer science, especially when discussing the performance and dependability of critical infrastructure or software. The function typically outputs a value between 0 and 1, where 1 represents perfect availability (the system is always working) and 0 represents complete unavailability (the system never works).
Calculating a beschikbaarheidsfunctie often involves analyzing factors such as failure rates, repair times, and maintenance schedules.
The availability function is vital for decision-making. It helps in setting service level agreements (SLAs), assessing
