AGMA Operating Ratio Report (ORR) Deadline June 15

13th May 2010

How do the best companies act when business is down? All companies adjust, but which adjustments have the hightes pay-off?

AGMA Operating Ratio Report (ORR) will give you the answers.

Knowing your costs and how your company compares with the overall industry and with companies like yours is the first step toward financial success. Knoweldge is power.

The best financial tool available to help AGMA members understand how your company’s financials compare with others in the industry is the AGMA ORR. This annual report will help you understand your manufacturing and sales costs and it will allow you to maximize your returns by showing you where to look for savings and additional revenue.

Only participants in the survey receive this report. Your company must submit your cost and operating data which will be combined with the other participants to produce this analysis of the industry. The process is absolutely secure and completely confindential. All reports are mailed to an independent financial consultant and he alone sees the data. No one on staff, and no AGMA member ever sees the data.

No company’s data are ever published and the aggregated data are tested for confidentiality to ensure each participant’s data cannot be “backed-out” of the totals.
