IC&A Staffing Maintenance Benchmarking Study Instrumentation Testing Association (ITA)

Abstract This maintenance benchmarking study presents data on reported instrumentation, control, and automation (IC&A) data received from surveyed water, wastewater, and industrial treatment facilities. Data on plant staffing profiles, salary ranges, education, experience, and training requirements are provided. In addition, data on IC&A staff management and staff time allocation for performing maintenance are provided. A discussion of the development and utilization of computer maintenance management systems (CMMS) is also provided.

IC&A Staffing Maintenance Benchmarking Study Instrumentation Testing Association (ITA)

Maintenance Benchmarking Study of the Instrumentation Testing Association The Instrumentation Testing Association (ITA) was established on March 1, 1984. The primary function of ITA is to conduct charitable, educational, and scientific testing for public safety. ITA's mission is to advance the theory and practice of instrumentation and automation for water and wastewater treatment and other public works facilities by promoting the reliability and performance of environmental instrumentation and automation technologies. ITA's mission is designed to advance these services order to provide better public water service and enhance public health. ITA carries out its mission by developing and disseminating information on instrumentation and automation technologies and conducting educational programs in the field of instrumentation and automation. ITA's Maintenance Subcommittee of the ITA Technical Committee was developed by the ITA Board to originate and produce maintenance benchmarking studies to address the needs of ITA membership. These reports are intended to provide a basic understanding of maintenance practices and procedures and include reported maintenance requirements, cleaning, calibrating, and cost analysis of surveyed treatment facilities.
