In engineering, reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS)[1][2] is used to characterize a product or system:
- Reliability: Ability to perform a specific function and may be given as design reliability or operational reliability
- Availability: Ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment
- Maintainability: Ability to be timely and easily maintained (including servicing, inspection and check, repair and/or modification)
- Safety: Ability not to harm people, the environment, or any assets during a whole life cycle.
