serviceability
Fitness for purpose
Serviceability is the quality of being fit for use or capable of performing its intended function.
The term appears most often in contexts of equipment, machinery, or infrastructure: The inspector questioned the serviceability of the bridge.
In manufacturing and engineering, serviceability also refers to how easily something can be maintained or repaired: The new design improves serviceability by making parts more accessible.
