Last year, nearly 200 machining facilities took part in Modern Machine Shop’s Top Shops benchmarking survey. Top Shops aims to identify optimal shopfloor practices as well as operational and business metrics that define world-class competitiveness in discrete parts manufacturing. Our goal is to help companies like yours, whether it is a small job shop or a large, captive operation, become better overall businesses.
The online survey for the 2012 Top Shops program is now live at survey.mmsonline.com/topshops, and I encourage you to participate. It is designed to solicit sufficient information without being excessively time-consuming. We estimate that the survey will take one hour to complete. It prompts for specific financial, process and equipment information, and also includes a couple open-ended questions.
You have the option of printing the survey and filling it out by hand. In fact, you may find it helpful to complete it by hand and either fax or mail it to us or go back to the survey site to enter your information. This may prove to be useful in case key financial or process data isn’t readily at your fingertips.
