What is
The AMIS Assessment
The AMIS Assessment is a structured benchmarking assessment designed to evaluate an organisation’s maintenance maturity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Originally developed as part of a UK Government-supported programme in 1987, AMIS has since evolved into an industry-leading maintenance evaluation tool, incorporating maturity models, industry benchmarks, and best-practice frameworks to drive continuous improvement.
The assessment is applicable across multiple industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, utilities, food and drink, and facilities management, providing sector-specific comparisons and tailored recommendations.
