IW Best Plants Benchmarking Database -- Screen Captures

The IW Best Plants database allows you to benchmark more than a dozen different subject areas, such as quality, manufacturing operations, productivity and cost reductions, inventory management, and more.





To narrow down your benchmark, you can select one or more checkboxes on multiple-choice questions. In this example, by selecting the "6-10, 11-20 and over 20" boxes, you would be able to view responses from the 164 plants that have been running for more than 5 years.





For many metrics, you can enter a minimum or maximum value to narrow down your benchmark. For instance, entering "5.5" in the minimum value box would show you responses from all plants that reported operating at least 5.5 days a week. You can view the mean, median, and standard deviation, as well as the 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles.
