The Commtest Toolkit: Key Tools & KPIs

Like a master mechanic skillfully repairing a critical asset the Commtest Customer Success Team has its own tools and Key Performance Indicators to improve and monitor your journey towards "best in class" reliability and maintenance.

The Commtest Toolkit: Key Tools

Commtest RNA: The Commtest Reliability Needs Assessment is a comprehensive survey designed
to summarize the desired future state of your plant reliability scorecard. Four unique questionnaires
will focus on key stakeholders within your organization. By evaluating and summarizing the survey
contributions from "Operations and Production", "Reliability and Maintenance", "EH&S", and "Senior
Leadership - Plant Management", the Commtest Customer Success team will formulate a cohesive
approach to ensure Your Success.

Commtest ARC: The Commtest Asset Reliability Calculator establishes meaningful criticality for your asset base and applies appropriate predictive tasks and technologies based on known asset types.

Customer Success Benchmarking: This process aids in program design through its ability to provide a
measurement of your performance in a snapshot comparison of best-in-class companies. Commtest will
use in-depth investigations to help you focus on innovative practices that will produce superior results. We will recommend a course of action that will lead your facility to improved asset efficiency, which will lead to bottom line profit.

Commtest ROI Calculator: This tool is utilized on an ongoing basis to measure your Return On
Investment - the gains in efficiency achieved through Commtest products and services. Avoided downtime, optimized work processes and spares inventory, and improved process efficiency are among the essential elements measured with the Commtest ROI Calculator.

Commtest ACES: The Annual Calculation of Energy Savings tool quantifies the savings directly associated
with the repairs and corrective actions conducted as a result of the defect identification findings of the
Commtest toolkit. We use amperage, pre-corrective action, and post-corrective action to calculate and
substantiate your energy savings.

Commtest "Ask the Expert": This tool provides a direct link to a team of SMRP Certified Maintenance
and Reliability Professionals. You have access to analysis advice, general maintenance and reliability
knowledge, and wide-ranging guidance from industry-recognized subject matter experts.
By phone or by email, your expert will respond to your need within 24 business hours.

Commtest OTTS: As the maintenance program within your organization transforms, the Over-Time
Tracking System is a tool used to effectively illustrate the exponential increase in savings you will realize asmore and more of your maintenance is performed proactively instead of reactively. Based on the findings, we will recommend suitable course corrections and assist with successful implementation.

Commtest Success Guarantee: Commtest guarantees the success of your reliability program.
We will actively engage with you for a 12 month period to accelerate, elevate, and navigate your company's success. In the unlikely event that measurable achievements, based on the RNA, Benchmarks, ROI Calculator, and other prearranged metrics are not obtained after the completion of a mutually agreed upon prescribed course of training and/or mentoring services, you will be entitled to a full refund of your product purchase price.
