Join the ASM Consortium

Consortium Membership Benefits
Optimizing production, reducing variability and costs, improving safety and respecting the environment are most likely goals of your company.   The ASM Consortium can provide you with research, reports, tools, and best practices that can help your company achieve these goals.

Membership benefits include:
• An on-site assessment provided by experienced ASM Members includes a best practices report identifying the areas of ASM the new member company should focus on.  This can be extremely valuable in avoiding costs on areas that do not need major improvement, and in focusing on areas where there will be the most significant return.

• The opportunity to participate in Consortium-funded R&D efforts, propose collaborative projects, such as field tests, and receive funding from the Consortium Joint Fund to fully or partially fund the project.

• Full access to the members-only Consortium database offering over ten years of proprietary Consortium research.  Included in the database are members-only best practices guideline documents and results of all research projects.  Any member employee may register for free access to this database.

• Participation for as many employees as desired in all Consortium-sponsored meetings, such as information-sharing workshops.

• The opportunity to recommend and direct Honeywell developments spend.

• First access to new Honeywell products or enhancements that are tailored to User Member needs, and early knowledge of how to take advantage of these enhancements.
