This is how SPM works
SPM was founded 1 January 1967 with the aim to promote the industry’s need for reliability and environmental engineering research and to ensure that a knowledge center like DELTA acts as an effective information, advice and testing center.
SPM has about 60 members.
SPM’s activities aim to bring all member companies new knowledge and experience. The activities are initiated by members and organized in such a way that everyone has influence through the selected contact person in each company.
The SPM association’s main activities are:
- Exchange of experiences in experience groups.
-
R&D projects (SPM projects).
Experience groups
The cooperation in the various experience groups is one of the best ways to keep abreast of developments in a special area. In SPM’s experience groups, each member firm’s specialists meet and exchange experiences within the group theme. The groups typically have 10-25 participants, and meetings are held as needed, typically 3-4 times a year. The SPM association provides secretariat so that the groups’ coordination, invitations, minutes, etc. are effective. In general, participants meet at each other’s locations, i.e. the hosting rotates.
R&D projects
The SPM projects are funded under the fixed subscription, and where possible, supplemented by other means, such as from the Ministry of Science Innovation and Higher Education. The association regularly conducts joint projects. The larger projects usually have a broader perspective of interest for the majority of the members. They can also sometimes be part of a broader project, on an international level. In these cases it is possible to increase efforts, such that the project funding is increased with the addition of funds, public or private, so that very demanding tasks can be subject for the implementation of the projects.
