MACUBA™ Mission

To identify "Best in Class" business processes, which, when implemented, will lead member companies to exceptional performance as perceived by their customers.

MACUBA™ Objectives
  • To conduct benchmarking studies of important business processes.
  • To create a cooperative environment where full understanding of the performance and enablers of "best in class" business processes can be obtained and shared at reasonable cost.
  • To use the efficiency of the consortium to obtain process performance data and related best practices from non-industry companies.
  • To support the use of benchmarking to facilitate process improvement and the achievement of total quality.
    • MACUBA™ Membership

    The scope of membership includes those organizations that produce and/or distribute electricity as part of or in support of their core business(es).

    Company membership will be considered with respect to compliance with MACUBA mission, goals and operating guidelines, as well as, qualification of the organization within the scope of membership.

    Participation in specific efforts will be optional and open only to members with costs shared by the participants.

    We reserve the right to review membership applications and to make the final decision whether or not to accept any application. Consulting firms are generally ineligible for general membership.

    Benefits of Membership

    Studies:

    MACUBA™ will identify and present to members opportunities to participate in Benchmarking studies on various topics addressing issues of importance to the utility industry.


    There are two types of Benchmarking studies provided:
  • Consortium studies are offered to the membership as a whole with costs divided.
  • Single company sponsored studies addressing the interest of one member company can be offered to other selected members for no fee.

    • The association will also support electric utility benchmarking efforts:
  • Research - Access public and private databases.
  • Identify study participants - Top companies in and outside the electric utility industry.
  • Collect data - Manage response collection with the participants as a third party.
  • Lead site visits - Structure with best participants.

    • Roundtables:

    Interest group roundtables will be organized throughout the year. Members will pay a nominal fee to join real and virtual roundtable discussions that address specific processes.
