‘Top Shops’ is an American benchmarking and recognition program designed to help shops build their business. Top Shops is hosted by Gardiner Intelligence who publishes the Modern Machine Shop magazine.
Now you can take part in a unique benchmarking program that will tell you if you’ve got it right or maybe that there are other opportunities. You can do this with TOP SHOPS.
Do other shops have better setup times?
What type of capital investment in machinery works best?
What about reject rates?
Now TOP SHOP is being brought to New Zealand with Iscar Pacific.
Data is collected across categories including operations, technology, business strategy, and human resources. Select measures are scored and summed to total scores that serve as the basis for honouring certain shops as ‘Top Shops’.
You can benchmark your business with Top Shops custom reports. Custom reports compare your shop to others that are similar across the country, and show you how your shop stacks up on key variables. Top Shops custom reports serve not only as a baseline ‘report card,’ of sorts; they also provide data that aid the identification and prioritisation of shops improvement efforts.
For New Zealand shops, this will allow you to benchmark your Global competitiveness with the USA. You can also ask for a filtered report for just the New Zealand market if this appeals to you.
The information is confidential and you will only be able to identify your results and compare it with what is determined to be a TOP SHOP.
