AMIS History
MCP created AMIS in response to the DTI announcing that the UK should save £1.3 Billion p.a. through better Maintenance management and asset management best practice. By 1997 the DTI estimated that the AMIS process had potentially saved UK industry £300 Million – a quality benchmarking tool.
