The Manufaturing Study

MPI’s Annual manufacturing study measures differences
between U.S. and international plants

Although manufacturing plants around the world continue to operate well below capacity, nearly half of them plan to increase spending on capital equipment in the coming year.

Do you have information like this at your fingertips – vital data you need to keep pace or move ahead of your key competitors?

International plants spent significantly more on capital upgrades than U.S.-based facilities in the past year – 10 percent of plant revenue (median) compared to 3.1 percent (median) at U.S. plants. Further, the spending gap looks to continue through 2011, with 55 percent of international plants planning to increase capital spending, compared to 44 percent of U.S. plants.

Get the information you need to lead your market in 2011 and the years ahead. It’s available in the newly-released MPI Manufacturing Study, and can be found in any one of three new benchmarking products:

Manufacturing 2010/2011 Executive Summary

2010/2011 Global Manufacturers Benchmarking Toolkit

2010/2011 Manufacturers Data Report

There’s no substitute for competitive intelligence — and the Manufacturing Study offers a clear view of what it takes to survive and thrive in a challenging global environment.

Conducted every year since 1997, the MPI Manufacturing Study is known to be one of the world’s most comprehensive annual surveys of manufacturing performance data. For the first time, this year’s study includes comparison of U.S. facilities (334 plants) with plants from around the world.
