Reliability Maturity Scorecard
Score each system from 1 to 5. Your lowest rows are not embarrassments. They are the next places to work.
How to use it
Pick one maturity level per row. Do it with maintenance, operations, and leadership in the same room.
The rule
Average score shows maturity. Lowest three rows show priorities.
