The ability to perform work or deliver products and services as promised. It includes reliably performing processes with predictable outcomes. Dependability has three dimensions:

  • Availability = The ability to perform a process or deliver a product or service on-time, meeting pre-defined on-time completion timelines. Consider goods delivered on-time and in-full.
  • Accuracy = The ability to accurately perform a process or deliver a product or service, meeting pre-defined or commonly accepted accuracy standards. Consider error-free contracts, orders and invoices.
