Why Participate

Six reasons asset leaders take GARPI

Completing the survey takes six minutes. What you receive in return gives you an objective, data-backed view of where your organisation stands — and what the highest-performing organisations do differently.

01
📊

Your personalised GARPI score

Receive a composite 0–100 score across all eight dimensions, with your maturity tier classification — from Firefighting through to Reliability Leader — and a breakdown of where you are strongest and where you are losing ground.

02
🏭

Peer comparison by industry

See how your organisation compares with peers in your specific sector — Oil & Gas, Mining, Power & Utilities, Manufacturing and more. Not a global average, but a comparison that actually means something to your leadership team.

03
🎯

Dimension-level gap analysis

Pinpoint which of the eight GARPI dimensions represent your greatest improvement opportunity — whether that is reliability governance, maintenance strategy, data capability, workforce competency or spares management.

04
📈

Top-quartile practice insights

Understand what top-quartile organisations do differently on each dimension. The benchmark report identifies the structural practices most strongly correlated with higher availability, lower reactive maintenance and better financial outcomes.

05
🏆

ISO 55001–aligned evidence base

GARPI is the only independent global benchmark explicitly aligned to ISO 55001 and the GFMAM Asset Management Landscape. Your score provides meaningful, internationally comparable evidence of asset management maturity — useful for board reporting, procurement and improvement planning.

06
🔄

Annual longitudinal tracking

GARPI runs annually. Retake the survey each year to track your organisation's improvement across all dimensions and measure progress relative to a shifting industry baseline — the only global benchmark designed to grow with you over time.
