SMART Assessment

Not sure what's driving your fluid usage and waste generation rates?

A SMART Assessment from Zimmark will identify the opportunities for cost reduction, identify any capital requirements and the expected Return on Investment.

Up to 250 SMART Assessments will be available to Ontario manufacturers. If your company is eligible for SMART funding it is also eligible to take advantage of SMART Assessments. The total cost of each SMART Assessment is up to $7,000, but your company only pays $1,000 (or 15% of the Assessment cost, whichever is less), plus any direct expenses incurred by the service provider (for example, for travel to and accommodation at your location) – the SMART Program pays the balance of $6,000.

Eligible companies meet the following criteria: The company must have manufacturing operations in Ontario and must also have at least two years operating history. The SMART Program will employ the following definition of a manufacturer: “Any natural or legal person who makes a physical good with tools and/or machines by effecting chemical, mechanical, or physical transformation of materials, substances, or components, or by simulating natural processes, usually repeatedly and on a large scale with a division of labor. Manufactured items often are, or are made out to be, different from other similar goods in one or more aspects, and are sold commonly under a particular brand name." For a given project proposal, the manufacturing facility where the project will be implemented can have no fewer than 10 and no more than 500 employees as of the date you submit your application.
