Start here · The Reliability Assessment
Put a dollar figure on what unreliability is costing you. One of your sites. One fixed-scope engagement.
The Assessment is the front door to everything we do. We come on site, find the failure modes driving your downtime and cost, and quantify the gap in dollars. You leave with the gaps named, the cost on the table, and a plan you own. The report is the proposal for whatever comes next.
Fixed scope, fixed fee · Run by engineers who maintained the assets · The report is yours to keep
Pick a time that suits you — 45 minutes with a senior engineer.
Why operators start here
You already know reliability is costing you. You just don’t have the number.
What is missing is rarely the will to fix it. It is a clear figure on what the current state costs, and a plan the team will actually run. The Assessment produces both.
It is built for the operator who has had a review before and watched the report go on a shelf. We diagnose on real assets, in your data, and we quantify. The patterns we find most often:
How it’s done
We read the evidence before we form a view
The Assessment runs the same way every time. Evidence first, recommendations second. The method is what separates a finding you can act on from a maturity score you file.
The difference is the chair we have sat in. Our senior engineers ran the maintenance function before they advised it, and every member of our leadership team has run assessments like these across their careers. The diagnosis is grounded in your failure data and how your assets behave, not in a template.
What you leave with
A number, the failure modes behind it, and a plan you own
The Assessment diagnoses and quantifies. Everything it finds is a finding of one engagement, not a separate product you have to buy cold.
01 · The number
The gap, in dollars
What poor reliability is costing you now, quantified from your failure history and downtime, set against what it costs once the failure modes are under control. The Reliability Margin made visible.
02 · The diagnosis
The failure modes driving it
The specific failure modes behind the downtime and the spend, ranked by dollars and risk, tested against your current strategy with FMECA and criticality. Not a generic maturity score.
03 · The plan
A costed next step you own
A recommended next phase, scoped and costed: a strategy build, an embedding phase, or master-data remediation. The report is the proposal. You decide whether we deliver it or your team does.
Where the Assessment sits
The first phase of our delivery framework, not a one-off review
The Assessment opens the path. Each phase after it is scoped only on what the one before it found, and only if you choose to continue.
Phase 1
Assessment
Diagnose and quantify the gap on one site. You are here.
Phase 2
Blueprint
Scope the packages of work the Assessment found.
Phase 3
Pilot
Prove the approach on a defined asset class.
Phase 4
Embedding
Build the function and the discipline into the site.
Phase 5
Value Assurance
Hold the gains and report the margin over time.
Scope and fee
Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Agreed before we start.
One site, one engagement, a price set up front. No hourly meter, no open-ended consulting. You know the cost and the deliverable before anyone comes on site.
The fee is deliberately set as a small, easy first step. Its payback is the work it unlocks, not the fee itself.
What it is not
Book your reliability assessment
Tell us the site and what is driving the enquiry. We will come back within one business day to scope it and confirm the fee.
- A short scoping call to agree the site and the questions you need answered
- Fixed scope and fixed fee confirmed in writing before anything starts
- On site in days, not months, with the report and the number to follow
Common questions
What operators ask before they book
What is a reliability assessment?
A reliability assessment is a fixed-scope engagement that diagnoses what poor reliability is costing one of your sites and quantifies the gap in dollars. We read your CMMS history, test your maintenance strategy against how your assets actually fail, and hand you the failure modes driving the cost with a costed plan you own.
How is a reliability assessment different from an asset management maturity assessment?
A maturity assessment scores you against a framework and hands back a grade. A reliability assessment works from your failure data and downtime, names the specific failure modes behind the spend, and puts a dollar figure on the gap. You get a number and a plan you can act on, not a score to file.
What do we get at the end of a reliability assessment?
One report, presented to the decision-maker. It sets out the cost of the current state, the failure modes ranked by dollars and risk, and a recommended next phase that is scoped and costed. The report is the proposal for whatever comes next, and the plan is yours to run in-house or with us.
What happens on site during a reliability assessment?
We agree the site, assets and fee in writing first. We pull one to two years of CMMS history and read it before we arrive, then walk the plant and sit with your planners, supervisors and trades. The data shows what happened and the interviews show why.
Do we have to engage HolisticAM to deliver the recommendations?
No. The assessment diagnoses, quantifies and recommends. There is no lock-in and no dependency built into the report. You can run the recommended next phase with your own team or bring us back to deliver it.
