\section{INTRODUCTION}
The calculation of
the operation metrics
of for an accelerator serves several purposes: it
quantifies the can quantify improvement of a specific facility over time, or it
is can be used to compare the performance of similar facilities.
In the first case one should select
an operation metrics
that is close to in line with the
user requirements
of the users of for the facility~\cite{Luedeke:2014aa}.
For the latter case the
operation metrics
of for the compared facilities should follow a common standard.
In particular
the beam availability is often used to compare light sources.
While these statistics are published for most light sources,
very few facilities do
add exact supply definitions on how these numbers are calculated.
A survey of several light sources revealed~\cite{L_deke_2009} that the calculation of
these metrics do vary this metric varies considerably.
The conditions under which beam is considered available are often defined in common sense
terms terms, and even if there are formal definitions,
these do they differ between
the facilities.
But if beam availability is not identically
defined for the facilities, defined, then
these metrics are the metric is not useful for a meaningful comparison.
Our aim is to propose
a simple, well-defined, formal operation metrics for storage ring light sources, to make the reliability of these facilities comparable.
The metrics
itself clarifies serve to clarify for each facility the beam parameter promised to the users, and the statistical data
do reveal, how well
these promises the standards are
kept. met.
