"This is the only M&R survey that's based entirely on SMRP conscience metrics. It is an invaluable comparison tool," said Ron Leonard, director for the Body of Knowledge for SMRP.
The study's scope is consistent with SMRP's M&R Body of Knowledge, which is supported by the five Pillars of Knowledge: Business and Management, Manufacturing Process Reliability, Equipment Reliability, Organization and Leadership, and Work Management. The study comprises two survey components: the Survey for M&R of Production Equipment, which is currently open for data collection, and the Survey for M&R of Facilities Maintenance, which will be open soon for data collection.
The new online evergreen interface allows data to be submitted in a secure online environment backed by enetrix. All data submitted are strictly confidential and are encrypted during transmission. In addition, the save entry feature enables data to be entered in multiple sessions by multiple users, if needed. Participants also have the ability to track data for a single owner with multiple facilities.
Participation in the Benchmarking Study is free and open to both members and nonmembers of SMRP. Participants who submit their data by October 17, will receive one year of free access to data and reports. Access to real time data is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Performance of data can be monitored over time as the database continues to grow.
