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

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.
