Reliability Performance Model
AVT Reliability BV (formerly Van Geffen Reliability) has a well-established Reliability Performance Model (RPM) which ensures standards are met across all assets and sites.
Asset reliability is vital for optimum performance and requires a well-managed plan to reduce and prevent unforeseen breakdowns and recurring problems with critical machinery.
At AVT Reliability, we understand that asset reliability is essential across all industries to achieve optimal production with minimal downtime. We also recognise that building a successful reliability programme can feel daunting and time-consuming without a clear framework and experienced support.

AVT Reliability supports organisations in building effective reliability programmes, helping achieve optimal production with minimal downtime, using a clear framework and experienced guidance.
Our SolutionAs experts in asset management, AVT Reliability has developed the Reliability Performance Model (RPM). Having reliability standards alone is not sufficient. To be effective, these standards must be implemented, embedded, and sustained, particularly for organisations working towards ISO 55000 Asset Management certification. The Reliability Performance Model provides a strong and scalable foundation for any industrial asset management initiative, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to the specific needs of individual companies, sites, and teams. |
