What is METBENCH / MCMS ?
METBENCH is a Net Centric enterprise IT solution for the Metrology and Calibration that:
Automates calibration processes to reduce cost, improve work flow and improve quality
Improves execution of the technical authority process
Replaces five legacy lab management applications in depot labs due for sunset under the CNO IT application reduction initiative
Replaces two afloat applications on SURFOR platforms
Provides enterprise wide end to end visibility of calibration readiness and asset tracking – afloat and ashore
Automates Calibration, Production management and QA for cal labs
Improves Sailor quality of life afloat and facilitates moving workload ashore
Automates collection of calibration work results and metrics
Ensures data quality and integrity necessary for engineering analysis
Integrates CRL with afloat recall and inventory management
MCMS - A browser based software module of METBENCH, MCMS stands for METBENCH Calibration Management System that manages all portable and CRL assets within METBENCH including asset recall, enterprise wide asset tracking to reduce sailor calibration workload and for moving workload ashore with the goal of reducing calibration costs across the enterprise 3

4. METBENCH Enterprise Architecture
Distributed architecture provides full functionality locally without Internet access to the replication server
Each site maintains its own web server in the form of a METBENCH Master Controller.
Minimizes bandwidth requirements and eliminates a single point of failure in the system.

5. METBENCH Components Automated Procedure Execution
METBENCH Procedure Creation
Significantly increases calibration efficiency
Eliminates technical errors
Increases equipment availability
Lowers required skill set to perform calibration
Preserves investment in ~5000 existing procedures
Standardizes procedures across System Commands
Facilitates automated procedure creation without computer programming
Calibration Asset Management Afloat
Calibration Laboratory Management
Reduces Sailor workload
Aligns Shipboard and ashore communities
Facilitates movement of workload ashore
