Allied Reliability’s Phased Approach to a Successful Reliability Initiative Gives Companies Opportunity to Phase in Improved Reliability Assurance and Higher Return On Investment
What is unreliability
costing your business
in production losses?
It’s not enough to simply put a program in place. You have to be able to accurately measure the return on investment.
According to an independent benchmark study performed by the Aberdeen Group, best-in class performers show 26% higher return on invested capital, 15% higher asset utilization, and 40% lower maintenance cost than that of average performers.
To achieve best-in-class results, “Failure Modes Driven” maintenance strategy is paramount because the overwhelming majority of failure modes are not linked to time. Allied Reliability’s Return On Asset Reliability (ROAR™) is a new approach to measuring the return on capital investment in assets. Returns on asset reliability come from 4 primary sources:
- Reduction in Maintenance Costs
- Lower Inventory Requirements
- Lower Energy Consumption
- Higher Productivity
Using advanced reliability tools, daily production data can be used to identify bottom-line production gain opportunities keeping reliability programs from being dismissed as “having no real value”.
Allied Reliability, Inc. has designed, developed and managed over 200 large-scale Reliability Programs, making Allied uniquely qualified to assist you in determining an optimized and cost effective PM/PdM strategy for your facility that will result in the highest return on your investment.
Allied will not only help you design and implement the very best Reliability program, they will also show you how to calculate the real world effect on your bottom line.
“From the numbers I
see, it’s the best return
for your money. You get huge returns for effort. When you have returns
of 5-1 and 10-1 why wouldn’t you work on it? It’s foolish not to.”

Our approach allows you to engage your Reliability initiative in manageable and measurable phases that result in a “shared vision” for all involved:
- Determine where you
currently are
- Develop an appropriate plan to get you where you want to be
- Execute the plan
- Continue to measure,
evaluate and improve
This logical progression allows you to understand your Reliability needs before you begin; measure and evaluate your program as you implement it; then monitor and improve it going forward giving you total control and understanding of each phase.
Phase 1 -
Current State Analysis
Using state of the art Reliability Engineering tools such as Weibull Analysis, Availability Simulation and Modeling at a high level, FMEA and RCFA on identified facility issues Allied will compare your current levels of performance with Best Practice and Benchmark data.
Knowing where you stand compared to Best Practice standards and understanding where the gaps are in your overall production efficiency allows us to then take these tools and drill down to find and eliminate the root causes of both process and equipment related problems.
Allied helps you determine what your Return On Asset Reliability (ROAR™) will be when you attain Best Practice standards by showing you what less-than-best-practices are costing you in production and efficiency compared to the overall gains in profitability that will be achieved with your Reliability initiative.
Phase 2 -
Path Forward Action Plan
After a successful analysis is completed to determine the current state of your operations, Allied helps you identify and develop your targets and degree of improvement that makes the most sense for your particular situation.
We help you evaluate which gaps between current practice and best practice need to be closed to create a shared vision that will unite and drive the production culture in your business.
Allied will then provide you with an anticipated ROARTM project outlining the likely financial results you can expect when this new shared vision is attained.
Phase 3 -
Implementation
With the goal of closing the gap between current practice and Best Practice, Allied physically works with you to implement the items that were developed in the Phase 2 Path Forward Action Plan
During implementation, ROARTM benefits tracking is initiated so an accurate assessment can be used to determine if the expected results are being achieved, again utilizing state of the art reliability engineering tools, best practices and benchmarking data.
Phase 4 -
Sustainability
Allied offers a variety of services, training and auditing that will ensure not only the initial success of your Reliability effort but the long term evolving needs as well.
Sustainability not only means maintaining your original improvements and results, but also the continuous improvement of them which often means creating a new shared vision to reflect the improved state of operations.

Return On Asset Reliability (ROAR™), is derived from the common asset investment metrics return on capital and return on assets. ROAR™ identifies investment potential from a company’s current capital expenditure budget and utilizes proprietary benchmark data to produce a realistic return on investment opportunity. |
