A Side Benefit to Benchmarking: Gaining a Customer
An aerospace company that read about a Top Shops Honors Program winner in 2013 eventually became a new customer for that shop.
JD Machine maintains a clean, organized shop in Ogden, Utah.
Our fifth annual Top Shops benchmarking survey is now live through the end of February.
Another element of Top Shops is an Honors Program that highlights successful participating companies in each of the survey’s four primary sections: machining technology, shopfloor practices, business strategy and human resources. Honors Program winners are profiled in the pages of Modern Machine Shop and on our website. Ogden, Utah’s JD Machine was a winner in 2013, and Matthew Wardle, company president, says that the resulting exposure helped net a nice contract from a new customer.
