Reliability Engineering
Engineer out the failures that drive your downtime.
Criticality analysis, FMEA, RCM and reliability modelling that target the failures actually costing you production.
Request AssessmentWhat we typically find
- Repeat failures on the same assets, with no structured explanation of why.
- Maintenance effort spread evenly across equipment regardless of consequence.
- No quantified view of MTBF, availability, or the production risk carried by each asset.
What the engagement covers
- Asset register review and criticality ranking
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA / FMECA) at component level
- Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) task selection
- MTBF, MTTR and availability modelling from historical work order data
- Reliability improvement plan with cost and benefit estimates
How we deliver it
Data capture
Extract work orders, failure history, and asset hierarchy from your CMMS and validate completeness.
Criticality ranking
Score each asset on safety, environmental, production and cost consequence against likelihood.
Failure analysis
Break critical assets down to component level and document failure mode, mechanism, cause and consequence.
Task selection
Apply RCM decision logic to select condition-based, time-based, run-to-failure or redesign strategies.
Validation
Review findings with maintenance and operations, then confirm the strategy against plant reality.
Deliverables
- Criticality matrix and ranked asset register
- Component-level FMECA worksheets
- Revised maintenance task list with intervals and acceptance criteria
- Reliability baseline report (MTBF, MTTR, availability)
- Prioritised improvement roadmap
Outcomes
- Fewer repeat failures on production-critical equipment
- Maintenance effort concentrated where consequence is highest
- A defensible technical basis for every maintenance interval
Every recommendation is traceable to a recognised standard.
