1. A method of identifying underperformance of a pumping system, comprising:

  • creating a reference composite curve for a parameter of the pumping system;

    determining the parameter through actual measurements during operation of the pumping system;

    providing a confidence factor based on the methodology of determining the parameter through actual measurements; and

    comparing the parameter determined through actual measurements, in conjunction with the confidence factor, to the reference composite curve for identifying underperformance of the pumping system.
