Longer term overview

To give a longer term view of the kind of faults, and the amount of downtime as a function of the system and kind of fault, in Table 3 an overview is given for the past 22 semester (the period over which the data base is in use), from April 1, 2004 till April 1, 2015. Over this period, there were 2030 fault reports, reporting a total of 331.5 hr down time. Beyond the amount of time lost and the number of faults reported, also the percentage for each is indicated. These numbers give a good indication of the range and distribution of the kind of problems that are encountered and need to be resolved to maintain operations.
