PMPA Western Michigan Chapter had a great time. Thank you to everyone who came out to support. Please look out for upcoming events.
Our January 2024 data shows a strongly positive start for our precision machining shops. Our December 2023 Business Trends Report surprised to the upside. In January 2024- the positivity continues with sales higher than the Fed’s industrial production report, and forward-looking sentiment remaining elevated and level. All other forward-looking indicators- Lead Times, Employment, and Profitability moved upward into positive territory as well. PMPA’s data is very positive for the next three months for our shops. Listen to the data!

The PMPA Business Trends Sales Index surprised to the upside at 144 for December, with a six point or 4.4% gain over November’s 138. That 144 is up 15 points or 11.6% over the 5-year average for December Sales. Our Sales index was down just 3.7 percent from our April forecast. Positive sentiment indicators for both Sales and Lead Times make a very strong case for business positivity for the first quarter of 2024.

The PMPA Business Trends Sales Index declined modestly to 138- a 3 point or 2.1 percent decline- from the October value of 141. We believe that our leveling thesis is still valid. Our YTD average of 146 has held for the second consecutive month. This month’s 141 is the third highest level of sales recorded for November by our reporting. It is 4.2 points or 3.1 percent above the five-year average (133.8) for November. Our sentiment indicators remained level, except for Profitability for the next three months which improved by 9 percent over the prior month. A special postscript takes a look at an impressive trend in Labor utilization for our precision machining shops.
