Need Resource for Industry Data - standard metrics for machine shops

[dwhite624]

I am looking for a resource that can show me industry standard metrics for machine shops. In particular, I would like to see how our shop stands up against other shops in regards to:

1. Sales Dollars per person
2. Scrap %
3. Rework %
4. OTD, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I doubt you will find this type of information. For the most part, machine shops don't gather such data and, even, if they did, they would be extremely reticent to make it available outside their confines.

Look for a precision machining association and see if they have any benchmark reports. It will cost you a few bucks.

Thanks Golfman25, I knew there was something out there. Now we will see if the boss wants to pay for it.
