Rolling 4 Quarters of Independently Measured Impacts
To help small and mid-sized manufacturers become globally competitive, Fors Marsh Group (FMG) partnered with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure the impact of manufacturing growth on regional economies in the United States.
FMG designed a comprehensive research program that included developing an impact survey to measure the growth of manufacturing companies in NIST’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Program. The results of the survey conducted by FMG helped determine that specific metrics reported by client manufacturers need to be more competitive in the global marketplace. Below are four quarters of those Manex metrics as independently gathered and measured by FMG. These impact the individual employee as well as owners and leaders in Northern California manufacturers.
