Assessment Framework

RMI Audit Toolkit

Score where your maintenance organization actually stands. The Reliability Maturity Index grades your People, Processes, and Technology, then shows you the shortest path from reactive firefighting to a planned, reliability-driven operation.

Framework

What is the Reliability Maturity Index?

The RMI is a structured assessment of your maintenance and reliability program, scored against ISO 14224 practice. It exposes the gaps that drive unplanned downtime, low wrench time, and a poor planned-vs-reactive ratio, then turns the findings into a prioritized improvement roadmap your team can execute.

Objective Scoring

A defensible score across 16 dimensions of maintenance and reliability practice — no opinions, just evidence

Gap Identification

See exactly which gaps are leaking reliability — weak PM compliance, missing RCA, thin spares coverage, or stalled CMMS adoption

Benchmarking

Benchmark your maturity against ISO 14224 practice so you know where you lead and where you lag

Roadmap Creation

Turn the score into a sequenced action plan — fix the highest-criticality gaps first, defer the rest

Three Pillars

The Three Pillars of RMI Assessment

People

The crew and the culture. Measures technician competency, how knowledge moves before your veterans retire, and whether the floor actually owns reliability or just reacts to breakdowns.

  • Technician Competency
  • Training & Development
  • Knowledge Transfer
  • Cultural Alignment
  • Leadership & Accountability

Processes

How the work gets planned, executed, and improved. Measures whether your PM and RCA processes are written down, followed the same way every shift, and feeding defect elimination — or living in someone's head.

  • Standard Operating Procedures
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • Failure Mode Analysis
  • Spare Parts Management
  • Vendor Management

Technology & Tools

Whether your CMMS and condition-monitoring tools earn their keep. Assesses how well your team uses predictive maintenance, clean asset data, and analytics to catch failures early instead of logging them after the fact.

  • CMMS/EAM Utilization
  • Predictive Maintenance Tools
  • Data Quality & Analytics
  • Mobile Technology Adoption
  • Integration & Automation
