Benchmarking is a process of seeking out Best practices
that can be adopted to improve performance. The SMRP Benchmarking
Committee is focused on benchmarking as it relates
to the Maintenance & Reliability (M&R). community.
The Benchmarking Committee is comprised of three subcommittees,
which are working to provide real value-added improvement
opportunities to our members.
The SMRP conducts Benchmarking Studies based on responses
to benchmarking questionnaires completed by member companies.
The updating of these studies is being examined by the Benchmarking
Survey Subcommittee.
Benchmarking requires data on best-in-class companies or
processes, and a means to assess your current state. The
Benchmarking Resources Subcomittee, which
is chaired by Mike Barrett, is developing
a database of industry organizations that are sources for
M&R benchmark data. The product of this subcommittee
will be web-enabled databases that members can access to
locate sources of benchmark data applicable to their industry
or process, and a listing of potential partners to assist
them in improving their performance.
Jerry Putt chairs the Performance
Measurement Subcommittee, which is focused on developing
definitions and quantatitive ratings for qualitative benchmarking
survey questions. This will provide enhanced techniques
for interpreting the reults of benchmarking surveys.
Taken together, the activities of these subcommitties enable
the SMRP Benchmarking Committee to povide a set of tools
to allow SMRP members to focus on the alignment of M&R
processes, functions, and best practices with their business
objectives.
The Committee Chair is Jerry Putt of Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co.
