Enterprise Performance Assessment:
The assessment reviews a company’s approaches in six categories:
1. Leadership
2. Strategic planning
3. Customer and market focus
4. Measurement, analysis and knowledge management
5. Workforce focus
6. Operations focus
This process provides companies with expert evaluation on how well the company’s goals, plans, processes and measures are aligned; strengths and opportunities for improvement for each category; and recommendations for key cross-cutting improvements. This assessment, based on the national Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Assessment and the Governor’s Sterling Award, is designed for companies committed to improving their leadership and management systems.
Integration of Advanced Technologies Assessment: The focus of the Baldrige-Based Assessment for Integration of Advanced Technologies into Manufacturing Operations is to assess organizational performance within the context of the company’s strategic orientation to adapt and implement specific technologies into the operation.
Business Continuity Assessment: We offer several tools to help your company determine its preparedness to reduce the impacts and shorten recovery time from business disruptions, such as hurricanes, pandemics, fires, and other disasters or unforeseen events.
For a high-level overview of your company’s preparedness in the event of a future disaster, complete the Disaster Readiness Assessment on-line. This takes less than five minutes, and you will be provided with a feedback report immediately upon completion.
The Business Continuity Assessment evaluates your company’s resiliency for a wide range of potential risks, covering all aspects of a manufacturing business, front to end. The detailed report provides a roadmap for creating a Business Continuity Plan to help ensure that your employees and facilities are protected, and processes can continue despite an emergency or disaster so your company can continue operating and generating revenue. This assessment is completed with a Business Advisor, and you will be provided a report immediately upon completion.
Cybersecurity Gap Analyses: We offer two assessments which provide your company a roadmap for obtaining the desired level of Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMMC) Certification:
1. Cyber Hygiene Assessment CMMC Level 1 and Roadmap. The assessment report - the Roadmap - details gaps, strengths, and opportunities for strengthening the current state. The Roadmap will establish the path for your company to achieve CMMC Level 1 compliance.
2. Cyber Physical Security Assessment. This assessment will provide your company with a gap analysis against the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Publication 800-171, and the Department of Defense’s (DoD) new CMMC standards for cybersecurity. The analysis will provide a roadmap to compliance and assistance in developing a System Security Plan and a Plan of Action and Milestones.
Capacity Analysis: How resourceful and resilient are you? Do you have the capacity to handle new growth? Are you using the newer technologies that will help increase your capacity to grow? Do you know the minimum sustaining revenue you need to be more resilient?
To meet your business and customer needs, understanding and estimating production capacities is essential. Our capacity assessment analyzes the current state capacity of the production value chain and can simulate your desired future state. This assessment is a cost-effective and low-impact approach to look for ways to improve production and operations.
Data and information from your company and its operations are used to develop a model of the company internal value stream which, when animated, simulates real-life process resources, inputs, flows, outputs, and throughput to customers.
Results: The capacity assessment will identify where improvements can be made; the simulation can be used to try out modifications before investing time and resources.
Regional Awards: Florida Regional Manufacturer Associations (RMA) operate a variety of annual award processes. Winners of an RMA award based on the Sterling/Baldrige criteria or similar will automatically be nominated into the SMBE evaluation process. For information about regional awards, contact your local Regional Manufacturers Association.
