Top Shops 2013 Winners
The 2013 Top Shops benchmarking program produced four Honors Program winners who were particularly effective in the program’s four categories.
Every year, Modern Machine Shop, PM’s sister publication, conducts its Top Shops benchmarking survey. The goal is to identify optimal shopfloor practices as well as operational and business metrics that define world-class competitiveness in discrete parts manufacturing.
