RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety)

RAMS is a comprehensive framework used to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of systems and processes. It considers four critical aspects: Reliability (the system's ability to perform without failure), Availability (the readiness for use), Maintainability (the ease with which maintenance can be performed), and Safety (the system's ability to operate without causing harm). RAMS is crucial in maintenance planning and risk management.
