About Reliability HQ
We build the tools we wished we had.
We Build the Tools We Wished We Had
Reliability HQ exists for one reason: to help reliability engineers spend less time on administrative work and more time actually improving equipment performance.
We've sat in the same meetings you have. We've built FMEA spreadsheets from scratch at 6 PM on a Friday. We've explained the difference between a failure mode and a failure cause for the hundredth time.
So we started building better tools. Templates that enforce good methodology. Training that actually sticks. Resources that work in the real world—not just in textbooks.
Now we're sharing them with you.
Built for People Who Do the Work
Our products are designed for:
Reliability Engineers
Who need to conduct rigorous analysis without endless setup time
Maintenance Managers
Who want their teams aligned on methodology and speaking the same language
Plant Managers
Looking to implement RCM properly—without hiring an army of consultants
Consultants and Trainers
Who need professional, standards-compliant materials for their clients
Whether you're in manufacturing, utilities, oil & gas, mining, or any asset-intensive industry—if you're responsible for equipment reliability, you're in the right place.
Standards First. Practical Always.
Everything we create is grounded in established methodology:
SAE JA1011
The international standard that defines what a "true" RCM process must include. Our templates and training align with these requirements, so your analysis will stand up to scrutiny.
Moubray's RCM II
John Moubray's work remains the definitive guide to reliability-centered maintenance. His systematic approach forms the backbone of everything we build.
But we're not academics. We know that a perfect template sitting unused helps no one.
That's why every product is designed for immediate implementation:
- Clear instructions
- Logical layouts
- Real-world examples
- Flexibility to adapt to your specific context
The goal isn't to follow methodology for its own sake. The goal is to improve reliability. Our tools help you get there faster.
What Sets Us Apart
Focused Exclusively on RCM
We're not a general "maintenance templates" shop. We specialise in reliability-centered maintenance and related methodologies. That focus means deeper expertise and better products.
Ready to Use, Not Ready to Customise for Six Months
Our templates aren't frameworks that require consultants to implement. They're working tools. Download, add your data, start your analysis.
No "RCM-Lite"
Some vendors water down RCM to make it "easier." We don't. Proper RCM requires rigour. Our products help you apply that rigour efficiently—not skip it.
We Speak Your Language
Failure modes. Functional failures. Default actions. P-F intervals. We know this world because we've worked in it. Our products are built by people who understand the job.
The Team Behind Reliability HQ
Reliability HQ was founded by reliability engineering practitioners who got tired of rebuilding the same tools for every new project and client.
Our team combines decades of experience across:
- Heavy manufacturing
- Utilities and power generation
- Oil & gas production and refining
- Process industries
- Mining and minerals processing
We've facilitated RCM analyses, trained maintenance teams, developed PM programs, and implemented CMMS systems. We've seen what works—and what doesn't.
Now we're packaging that experience into products that help you skip the learning curve and get straight to results.
