Reliability Engineering
Reliability is essential to ensure the long-term operation of your plant. Reliability engineering focuses on lowering costs by reducing equipment and system failures.
Reliability Engineering
Why is reliability engineering important?
Reliability engineering assesses the performance of systems, equipment and components to help ensure they remain in good repair and operate as expected.
When applied as part of an asset management programme, reliability engineering helps reduce downtime, avoid failures, improve maintenance decision-making and protect overall production performance.
Reliability engineering helps you:
Reduce failures
Identify where reliability risks exist and address them before they create avoidable downtime.
Lower maintenance costs
Reduce unnecessary work, improve task value and better align maintenance to asset risk.
Strengthen asset performance
Support long-term availability, productivity and reliability across critical operations.

Reliability Goals
What reliability engineering can help you achieve
Reliability engineering can support targeted improvement projects or wider asset management programmes, depending on site maturity, asset risk and business priorities.
Availability and productivityImprove the availability and productivity of critical assets and production systems. |
Root cause focusFind and address the root causes of recurring failures, not just the symptoms. |
Criticality and FMEAUnderstand asset criticality, failure modes and risk so maintenance can be prioritised effectively. |
Strategy optimisationOptimise maintenance strategies and remove activity that does not add value. |
Condition based maintenanceSupport the implementation of condition based maintenance and reliability centred maintenance. |
Training and cultureBuild internal capability so reliability principles become part of day-to-day site behaviour. |

Engineering Solutions
Reliability engineering solutions
AVT Reliability offers a suite of reliability engineering services designed to improve plant availability, prevent failures and lower maintenance costs.
Root Cause AnalysisStructured evaluation of failure events using tools such as Fishbone, fault tree and Pareto analysis to eliminate root causes and improve performance. |
Criticality AssessmentDetermines which systems and assets present the highest risk in terms of safety, cost and performance, helping prioritise maintenance strategies. |
FMECAFailure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis identifies potential failure modes, their effects and their criticality, supporting proactive maintenance and risk reduction. |
Preventive Maintenance OptimisationOptimises existing PM tasks, eliminating non-value activity and improving maintenance team utilisation without creating reliability gaps. |
Maintenance Strategy DevelopmentBuilds and continually optimises maintenance strategies that reflect asset age, condition, criticality and available technologies. |
RAMS AnalysisReliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety analysis helps ensure systems perform as intended under specified conditions. |
Reliability Centred Maintenance
RCM uses FMECA insights to design tailored maintenance strategies for each asset, reducing failure risk and improving plant performance.
