Modaf · Assessment and scoring

From one indicator to a network-wide score.

How Modaf assesses asset management maturity: the UPTIME model it uses, who does what, and exactly how each score is calculated.

The model

Three layers, ten aspects, 37 indicators.

Modaf uses UPTIME version 3 by default. Each indicator's code combines layer, aspect and number, so L-S-01 is Leadership, Strategy, indicator 1. Questions, aspects and weights live in a configurable bank.

AspectCodeWhat it measures
L · Leadership: strategic direction and management commitment
StrategyL-SUpstream documents (SAMP and AMP) and how well they align with the organization's goals.
PeopleL-PAsset management competencies: organizational structure, training and the reward system.
R · Requirements: the processes and systems that run asset management day to day
Work managementR-WMPlanning, scheduling, execution and control of maintenance work, including work orders and backlog.
Basic careR-SCPreventive actions, periodic inspections and workplace housekeeping for critical assets.
Materials managementR-MInventory, spare parts and consumables needed to maintain and operate assets.
Support systemsR-SUSoftware that supports maintenance, such as a CMMS, and the integrity of asset data in it.
Performance managementR-PEHow asset performance is monitored, with measures such as OEE, MTBF and MTTR.
X · Excellence: advanced, analysis-led and improvement-led practice
Continuous improvementX-CIUsing assessment results, benchmarking and improvement projects to raise maturity.
Reliability-centred maintenanceX-RApplying RCM to design and prioritize maintenance programs.
Evidence-based asset managementX-EUsing data, economic analysis and technical evidence in asset decisions.

Who does what

Two flows that never mix.

Producing evidence and judging it are separate jobs with separate people. That keeps scores honest.

Company asset manager, with departments

Evidence

The company's Modaf lead uploads and updates evidence for each indicator in the company profile, on the schedule set by the roadmap.

Never scores their own company.

Supervisor, advisors and facilitators

Assessment

Assessors open a form for each department, see the latest evidence beside every indicator, and record yes or no, a quality score and the time factor.

Never uploads evidence.

Assessment types

Four assessments, four purposes.

Assessment always happens per department: a company with five departments gets five complete forms. The company score comes from their weighted average.

TypeAssessorTypical cadencePurpose
Supervisory (official)Assigned asset management supervisorEvery 1, 2 or more monthsPeriodic official score for each department of the target company.
Committee advisor Advisor to the national committeeEvery 3, 6 or 12 monthsAll companies on one consistent, network-wide view.
Company advisor The company's own advisorFor example, yearlySets the company's deployment roadmap, which the asset manager then executes.
Regional facilitator The region's facilitatorFor example, yearlyAll companies in the region, compared side by side.

Indicator score

Quality, minus lateness.

An indicator scores done × quality, minus a time penalty if it was on the roadmap and missed its deadline. The penalty grows per day late, up to a cap set for that indicator, and a score never drops below zero.

Indicator done?
80
Good
74.0

Indicator score = (yes/no × quality) − time penalty

Time penalty = min(days late × penalty rate, penalty cap)

(1 × 80) − min(12 × 0.5, 20) = 74.0

Completed after the deadline: the time penalty applies.

Status bands

Four bands on every map and ranking.

Maps and rankings use the asset management status score by default. Settings can switch them to the roadmap performance score, which includes the time effect. In the product the bands are green, blue, yellow and red; on this site we draw them as hatching.

Excellent80% and above
Good60% to 80%
Average40% to 60%
WeakBelow 40%

History and comparison

Every assessment kept, in full detail.

Scores are stored per indicator, aspect, layer and department, not just as a final number. That makes it possible to compare company with company, one company across periods, and departments within a company.

The radar chart shows maturity across all ten aspects and can overlay several datasets, such as the first assessment, the latest one and the average of all companies.

Fair comparison

Rules that keep rankings honest.

A ranking only means something if the rules don't move under it.

  • Model versions change only between periods. A switch is allowed at the start of a one- or two-year assessment period and blocked while a period runs.
  • Version changes are labelled. Results after a switch are marked as not comparable with the previous period.
  • Each assessment keeps a snapshot of the model. Later edits to questions or weights never change past results.
  • Rank change is shown only when it's meaningful, that is, when the model version hasn't changed since the last period.
  • Incomplete assessments are provisional. They are flagged and can't take any of the top three places.
  • Rankings follow access. Company and department users see their own position, not the full list.
  • Every change is recorded. Questions, coefficients, department weights, positions and people all keep a full history.
  • Medals for the top three. Gold, silver and bronze, with a progress bar for every company.
