VDM^XL Audit

The methodology VDM^XL is ideally suited to assess and improve technical departments. With the VDM^XL Audit the current performance and maturity level of the technical department are measured to determine the Winning Maintenance & Asset Management Strategy. This strategy describes the improvement potential in processes, the organisation, IT systems, data and performance management, needed to create maximum economic value for the business.

The VDM^XL Audit takes two to three weeks and is fully supported by myVDM^XL.com, our online benchmarking platform with approximately 1,000 benchmark companies.

The key VDM^XL Audit elements are:

• An economic value driver analysis used to determine whether the technical department should be managed on the basis of cost reduction, increased uptime, safety improvement or lifetime extension.
• A benchmark analysis in terms of the twelve VDM^XL KPIs to provide insight to the company’s current status within the industry and where improvements can and should be made.
• A maturity assessment with the aid of a standard checklist with over 100 reference points used to measure the organisation’s maturity along various dimensions and, if desired, to compare it with other companies.
• A Future State Visioning Workshop in which the future strategy is designed in an interactive way on the basis of pre-selected best practice case studies.
• A business case that demonstrates the economic value added of the developed improvement program.
• Active executive management involvement throughout the entire audit process.
