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 maturity

Benchmark current reliability maturity and identify priority improvement areas.

Standards and evidence

Review whether reliability standards are clearly defined, evidenced and consistently followed.

Maintenance strategy

Assess whether maintenance activity is aligned to asset criticality, risk and business objectives.

Culture and improvement

Support a reliability culture where improvement is visible, measurable and embedded into daily practice.
