Lumina is a set of tools that provides better insight into your management system. Lumina analyses the information hidden in your company’s audit data and allows you to benchmark your company against thousands of others worldwide based on more than 1.6 million audit findings.

Performance benchmarking

Lumina analyses the performance of your company’s management system with reference to a given standard. Most of the indicators are expressed by comparing the company’s performance with the performance of selected benchmarks.

Lumina is based on data from thousands of management system audits carried out by DNV GL worldwide in companies belonging to a given sector and with reference to a given standard.

The solution uses a number of metrics developed in cooperation with GFK, a leading global research and statistics company, precisely in order to allow companies’ performances to be compared even against different sizes and geographies.

Intuitive indicators, like the number of findings in one day of an audit , or more complex and articulated metrics, like the Management System Performance Index, will take you and your company to a new level where certification becomes quantitative, measurable and comparable.

With Lumina you obtain:

• An overall measurement of your management system’s performance.
• A description of the granular performance of your management system’s different areas/processes.
• A detailed benchmarking heat-map showing the areas for improvement.
• Early warnings about the management system’s most common critical processes and strengths.
• Extensive internal benchmarking between units/sites in your organization.
• A comparison with benchmarking reference groups (such as peers or best performers).
• A trend-line analysis over time.

With insight from Lumina, you can easily identify and prioritize the management system areas which need to be improved.
