Reliability is not about fixing machines faster. It’s about predicting failures before they happen. And that is exactly what Advisor Diagnostic Services helps you achieve.
How to score
At the end of each section, choose the option that best describes your plant.
Add the points and total them at the end to see your Reliability Score*.
(*For reference only — not a technical diagnosis or contract.)
1. Asset health visibility
A plant that knows the true health of its assets has a major advantage. If you can detect issues early, you can plan repairs, reduce downtime, and protect your people.
Choose the option that fits your plant:
- 0 points: We have continuous monitoring and clear visibility into asset health.
- 2 points: We collect data, but it is not analysed or prioritised properly.
- 4 points: We only learn about issues when machines fail.
2. Unplanned downtime frequency
Unplanned downtime is one of the biggest drains on productivity and profitability. It also affects customer trust and on-time delivery.
Choose the option that fits your plant:
- 0 points: Downtime is rare and mostly planned.
- 2 points: We experience occasional breakdowns.
- 4 points: Downtime is frequent and unpredictable.
3. Diagnostic expertise availability
Having a sensor is not enough. You need expertise to interpret data and diagnose faults accurately.
Choose the option that fits your plant:
- 0 points: We have in-house diagnostic expertise and strong capability.
- 2 points: We rely on external support sometimes.
- 4 points: We lack expertise and struggle to interpret data.
4. Monitoring technology
The quality of monitoring technology determines the accuracy and speed of failure detection.
Choose the option that fits your plant:
- 0 points: We have advanced continuous monitoring with reliable alerts.
- 2 points: We have periodic monitoring only.
- 4 points: Monitoring is limited or inconsistent.
5. Actionable decision support
Data only becomes valuable when it leads to decisions. Without decision support, monitoring becomes an expensive data collection exercise.
Choose the option that fits your plant:
- 0 points: We prioritise actions based on evidence and strategy.
- 2 points: We struggle to decide what to fix first.
- 4 points: We delay actions due to uncertainty and lack of guidance

Why you need advisor diagnostic services

1. Expert diagnosis and actionable insight
Advisor Services uses advanced diagnostic tools and specialist analysis to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions—before the problem escalates.
2. Faster fault detection
Continuous monitoring detects anomalies early, giving you time to plan repairs rather than reacting to breakdowns.

With clear analysis and prioritised recommendations, your team can make confident, strategic decisions.
