Reliability is a measure of the ability of your physical asset(s) to do what you want them to do, for as long as you want it to run. The original engineering design impacts your asset’s ability to be reliable. It is often measured using a time between “failures” (downtime incidents). To achieve reliability you must operate your assets as intended by design, and maintain them in a way that deals with the likely causes of failures.
Following manufacturers’ maintenance recommendations does not usually achieve the desired levels of performance.
