Asset Maintenance & Reliability Auditing

Service summary

An assessment of existing arrangements intended to sustain asset availability and reliability. The audit examines criticality decisions, maintenance histories and the evidence behind reported reliability performance.

Findings help management understand whether maintenance practices address the observed failure experience. The service does not predict remaining asset life or guarantee future availability, safety or production output.

Key objectives

• Assess reliability management evidence
• Examine criticality and failure history
• Evaluate maintenance-to-failure alignment
• Identify unsupported performance conclusions

Methodology

Selected critical assets and recurring failures are examined using maintenance, operating and condition-monitoring records against agreed reliability criteria.

• Agree asset groups, reliability measures, period and assessment criteria.
• Review criticality classifications, failure histories and maintenance approaches.
• Select critical assets and recurring failure modes.
• Trace maintenance tasks and condition-monitoring responses.
• Reconcile downtime and failure indicators with source records.
• Evaluate learning, recurring defects and management review evidence.
• Report reliability control findings and limits of available data.
