Summary

This paper introduces an operational reliability model designed to optimize asset maintenance management and enhance organizational performance through data-driven strategies. The model integrates key performance indicators—Technical Reliability Index, Mean Time

Between Failures (MTBF), Maintenance Program Efficiency, and financial performance metrics—to improve equipment reliability and reduce unplanned downtime. Implemented within an agile framework, the approach enables a cultural shift from time-based to risk-based maintenance, prioritizing assets according to operational impact and strategic objectives. The methodology follows a six-phase cycle: data collection, performance standards definition, asset diagnosis, action plan development, agile monitoring, and continuous improvement. Results from implementation demonstrate significant gains in asset availability, cost reduction, operational efficiency, and cultural transformation toward proactive reliability management.

This work highlights how combining technical performance analysis with agile principles fosters sustained operational excellence and strategic alignment
