Manufacturing Barometer Survey

Welcome to The Manufacturing Barometer
Autumn 2017
The Manufacturing Barometer is a quarterly survey, which maps confidence, trends and opinions within the manufacturing sector. The findings, collated from opinions of senior decision makers are used to inform the development of support to manufacturers, ensuring they have the necessary help to operate sustainable businesses and grow. 

Each quarter, the survey has a 'special focus' section, relating to current news or activities within the sector/economy.   With last quarter's Barometer showing the impact of Brexit and the availability of people being a main concern for manufacturers, the importance of efficiency and productivity is more crucial than ever.  Therefore, this quarter is focused on our 2020 Campaign, where we're raising the question on where in the business you would most like to see productivity improve by the year 2020 - Quality, Cost or Delivery Performance. 

This survey should take around 15 minutes of your time – perfect for a coffee break!

We value your opinions and thank you in advance for your time and input.  Once the survey has closed and the data analysed, you will receive the findings in a report detailing regional and national views of the sector.
