Patent ID: 8332262

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for high performance capability assessment of a chemical industry, comprising: defining, by a processor coupled to a machine-readable memory, a multidimensional chemical industry performance reference set stored in the memory and comprising multiple key assessment performance reference tables, at least one key assessment performance reference table defining a manage operations platform including: a ‘Basic’ performance level specifying ‘Basic’ performance assessment criteria; an ‘Intermediate’ performance level specifying ‘Intermediate’ performance assessment criteria; an ‘Advanced’ performance level specifying ‘Advanced’ performance assessment criteria; establishing project management assessment criteria, wherein the ‘Basic’ performance assessment criteria includes a first criteria where limited risk and issue management are carried out with issues being resolved as they arise; wherein the ‘Intermediate’ performance assessment criteria includes a first criteria where project scope and objectives are documented and understood by team members; wherein the ‘Advanced’ performance assessment criteria includes a first criteria where project scope and objectives are documented and understood by team members; receiving, by the processor, an input specifying a chemical industry area and a chemical industry key assessment area with the chemical industry area for analysis; searching, by the processor, the multidimensional chemical industry performance reference set for a matching key assessment performance reference table that matches the chemical industry area and the chemical industry key assessment area; retrieving, by the processor, the matching key assessment performance reference table; analyzing, by the processor, the matching key assessment performance reference table; and obtaining, by the processor, a resultant performance level for the chemical industry key assessment area.
