In order to develop a baseline for manufacturing efficiency for best-in-class and laggard manufacturers, Epicor has completed numerous manufacturing benchmark studies for different industries.  These studies were compiled with information from Epicor's Informance enterprise manufacturing intelligence system (including patented analytics), and IMPACT Advisory Services.  The benchmark survey details the collected data, and includes insight and correlations to operational success of tactical and strategic actions.  Read more about the manufacturing benchmarking surveys for:
