The Australian Synchrotron has been open to users since April 2007. Beam availability is now consistently above 98%, with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of approximately 50 hours and a Mean Down Time (MDT) of approximately 1 hour. This paper discusses the program of activities that has been undertaken to improve beam availability, and to maximize the MTBF and reduce the MDT.
