Taxpayers and shareholders expect critical assets to work reliably and safely.
In a society where the delivery of essential services continues to come under enormous public scrutiny, cabinets, government ministers, boards and directors responsible for major infrastructure and large scale industrial facilities are required to have robust, transparent arguments of the expected operational performance of their charges. This is both from a criticality (large rare undesirable events) and availability (cumulative performance) perspective.
The Availability Profiling process developed by R2A combines three integrated studies using long established processes and techniques of the military intelligence / security community, HPR underwriters and reliability engineers, to ensure transparent decision making at all levels of management. It is precaution / solution focussed which clearly defines the context of the final availability modelling. This ensures that the results meet the expectations of cabinets, government ministers, boards, customers and regulators.
Availability profiling enables senior decision makers to test options in terms of reducing criticality and/or improving system/network availability.
