If you have answered ‘no’ to the questions above, you need an AMIS Assessment.

What is an AMIS Assessment?

The AMIS Assessment has been recognised as the industry standard for over 35 years and is designed to identify the gaps against best practice and scope for improvement using a facilitated assessment tool, supported by data and information analysis.

Using a standard assessment system and defined maturity levels, the site-specific assessment is completed and includes inputs and involvement from maintenance, operations and selected site employees.

The AMIS Assessment can be used for both inter and intra-site comparisons for all industry sectors.

The AMIS Assessment provides the largest database of benchmarks and Key Performance Ratios for the efficiency and effectiveness of companies worldwide.

What are the benefits of an AMIS Assessment?

The results of the AMIS Assessment provide a series of comparisons with other companies in the same sector, as well as the wider industry sector community. Key measures of performance will also be calculated if data is available, which will be used to determine the scope and size of benefits. These will include, as examples:

  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

  • Reliability

  • Maintenance Cost/Capital Asset Replacement Value (CARV)

  • Labour Utilisation
