The 2009/2010 United States Manufacturers Data Report presents manufacturing-plant-level data from the MPI Manufacturing Study. Each chapter in the 2009/2010 United States Manufacturers Data Report includes a right-hand column for all participating U.S. manufacturers, as well as columns for major cross-tabulations of the findings (e.g., Number of Employees). Within each chapter, data appears in a sequence similar to that presented to study respondents, working through five sections: Plant Profile, Human Resources, Operations, Supply Chain and Capacity/Equipment/IT.
Presentation of Data:
Survey questions consisted of directive single-answer questions for which respondents were asked to “check one” answer category; directive multiple answer questions for which respondents were asked to “check all that apply”; and open-ended numeric questions for which respondents were asked to respond with a number. The tables and charts in this report for “check one” and “check all” answer categories are presented either in the format presented on the survey or, where more meaningful, in descending order based on the percentage of responses for a particular answer category (i.e., the answer category with the highest percentage is listed first).
Data for directive questions list the frequency (N) and the percentage of responses for each answer category. The tables for open-ended questions are presented with the frequency (N), median, average, 75th percentile, and 25th percentile statistics. The median is the “typical” measure, not distorted by a few unusually high or low values that may exist in the sample due to special circumstances. The median figure represents the mid-point of the figures for a particular measure, with one-half of respondents reporting figures above it and one-half below. The 25th percentile is the value below which 25% of answers fall. The 75th percentile is the value below which 75% of answers fall. Where a lower measure is considered the better performance, such as with annual labor turnover, the 25th percentile and 75th percentile statistics have been reversed in this Report; i.e., the 75th percentile represents the lower (better) figure.
“ISD” (insufficient data) is indicated in order to retain respondent anonymity for cross-tabulations of questions that resulted in small sample sizes.
Where “Current Year” and “Three Years Ago” metrics were sought, MPI generally provides data on the change on a per-plant basis: Each plant’s individual year-to-year change is calculated, and then combined with all others; from this resulting array of data, a median, average, and percentiles are calculated. Where the metric was an absolute value (e.g., hours), the percentage change is provided; where the original current- or three-year metric sought was a percentage, a percentage-point change is provided.
