| | MESA 2009 Metrics Research
This survey, Correlating Plant Performance to Business Performance, is third in a series of MESA Metrics research, and is being conducted by Cambashi for the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA).
We are asking manufacturers and producers to indicate their key metrics to measure operations and business performance, as well as their use of good practices and software.
It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the core questionnaire. If you don't know an answer, you can check don't know, answer to your best estimate, or skip it if it's not a mandatory question. Also, you can stop and save your response by clicking the Next button on the bottom and come back to complete the survey at a later time if you'd like to check on an answer.
Additional research areas are available for those interested in comparing outcomes in specific areas of performance.
All responses will remain strictly confidential. Only aggregated results will be published in a report.
If you know someone else who might be interested in participating, or who might have different areas of expertise than you, please forward the invitation you received with the URL you clicked on to participate today. Note that every company providing three or more responses will be entered to win a MESA 1-year corporate manufacturer/producer membership.
Thank you for participating in this study. We look forward to sharing the results with you. |
