World Class Manufacturing Checklist International Comparison Chart 2001 to 2006
Summary of 2001 to 2006 returned World Class Manufacturing checklist (see WCM checklist for explanations). The figures show the %age of "yes" answers against each question against the checklist which you can see at www.bpic.co.uk/wcm_checklist_ungraded.  Since January 2007 the checklist answers can be graded W, X, Y & Z (as opposed to yes / no before that).  An analysis of the results of the graded checklist can be found at wcm_analysis.
This is not a scientific survey as the results are from companies who choose to respond, the sample size is small and their results are self assessed.
