For example, in this year’s survey, our 91±¬ÁÏÍø benchmarking group (the group that represents the top 20 percent of shops as determined by totaling the points assigned to certain business- and technology-related questions) reports median spindle uptime of 72 percent compared to 60 percent for other surveyed shops. 2015 profit margin for 91±¬ÁÏÍø and other shops were 15 and 8 percent, respectively. Plus, quote-to-book ratio for 91±¬ÁÏÍø was 61 percent compared to 50 percent for other surveyed shops.
