Abstract
The work described in the literature on the subject of Availability is based mainly on the assumption of exponential distribution of failure and repair times. If this assumption is not valid, evaluation of Availability itself is a complex problem and has rarely been attempted. This paper describes a method based on simulation to evaluate Availability of units in a system, be it an electrical or a production system. The failure and repair rates of units in the system need not necessarily follow the exponential distribution.
