Modern Machine Shop Top Shops 2024

Welcome to Modern Machine Shop's Top Shops Benchmarking Survey.  By completing this survey, you will receive a benchmarking report customized for your facility and have opportunities to earn top shop status as well as special recognition.

We know you want the benefit of benchmarking and recognition without investing a ton of time in a survey. That’s what you told us. And we listened.

For 2024, we’ve divided the survey into core and modules. Core questions have been answered by most people in past surveys. The rest of the questions are organized into modules. You may pick and choose modules based on areas of particular interest to you/your business.  Once you select a module, we encourage you to answer all of the questions it includes.

Now for your part
  1. Complete the core survey by April 30, 2024, for the opportunity to receive a customized benchmarking report, earn Top Shops status, and/or be recognized as an honoree.
  2. Opt-in to up to (4 or 5) modules of additional benchmarking questions. More on that after you complete the core survey.
FAQ’s on answering Q’s
If your company:
  1. has multiple locations, answer for the location or combination of locations you know the most about.
  2. is a captive facility, answer in the terms your facility uses to report metrics internally to the broader company.
