Draft:Global Asset Reliability & Performance Index (GARPI)
Asset management, engineering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global Asset Reliability & Performance Index (GARPI™) is a benchmarking framework for asset-intensive organisations. According to publicly available information published by its developer, Optimal, and by GARPI™’s author Leslie Moyo, GARPI™ is aligned with ISO 55001 and the GFMAM Asset Management Landscape and is intended to assess both asset management system maturity and operational performance outcomes. Public descriptions state that it uses eight weighted dimensions, produces a composite score and maturity classification, and provides peer comparison and automated risk-flag outputs.

In publicly available descriptions, GARPI™ is presented not simply as a maturity model or dashboard, but as a framework intended to measure what Moyo describes as the “performativity gap”, the distance between how asset management is framed through standards, policies, systems, and technology, and how it is actually carried out in day-to-day operational practice. The same article states that GARPI™ was developed to measure both sides of that gap together over time, rather than relying only on point-in-time conformance assessments or asset performance technology outputs.
According to Moyo’s March 2026 article, GARPI™ was designed around four main principles: measuring framing and performance together, running on a longitudinal annual cycle, treating sociotechnical conditions as first-class data, and enabling peer learning through cohort benchmarking. The article states that the framework integrates management-system maturity, including the use of technology and APM tooling, with operational outcomes across eight dimensions aligned with ISO 55001 clauses and the GFMAM subject areas.
The same publicly available article describes GARPI™ as an annual benchmarking instrument rather than a one-off certification. It states that one measurement provides a baseline, while repeated annual measurements are intended to reveal trajectory over time, including whether asset performance is being sustained through coherent capability or through short-term reactive measures.
