Reliability Performance Model (RPM)
The RPM model was developed as an assessment framework to support culture and asset performance improvements through a guided evaluation process.
Reliability Performance Model
Why is a Reliability Performance Model important?
The reliability of your assets is crucial to safe, efficient and predictable operation. Where reliability standards already exist, they need to be implemented consistently, especially if your organisation is working towards ISO 55000 Asset Management certification.
A robust Reliability Performance Model helps reduce equipment failure, avoid unnecessary breakdowns and support international best practice. It provides a structured way to benchmark maturity, improve asset strategies and drive continuous improvement.
From standards to measurable performance
The RPM framework helps align maintenance strategy, asset management practices and business objectives across the full asset lifecycle.
The result
Less downtime, lower repair costs, stronger compliance and more predictable asset performance.

AVT Reliability® Performance Model
A five-stage path that helps organisations progress from reactive maintenance to high-performing, sustainable reliability.
Stage 5: World-class
Reliability embedded in design, culture and daily operations. Continuous improvement is routine across the enterprise.
Stage 4: Proactive
Root cause removal, long-term risk reduction and lifecycle planning guide decision-making.
Stage 3: Predictive
Data-led maintenance using technologies such as vibration, lubricant analysis, ultrasound and thermography.
Stage 2: Preventive
Time-based routines and basic planning are established, with early performance reporting in place.
Stage 1: Reactive
Run-to-failure approaches dominate. Limited planning, frequent unplanned stoppages and higher costs.
Start at the stage that matches your current practice and progress with clear, evidence-based steps.
Assessment Areas
Turning reliability standards into practical action
The Reliability Performance Model helps assess whether standards, processes, behaviours and evidence are aligned across the organisation.
Asset management maturityBenchmark current reliability maturity and identify priority improvement areas. |
Standards and evidenceReview whether reliability standards are clearly defined, evidenced and consistently followed. |
Maintenance strategyAssess whether maintenance activity is aligned to asset criticality, risk and business objectives. |
Culture and improvementSupport a reliability culture where improvement is visible, measurable and embedded into daily practice. |
