Cross-plant lean benchmarking data
Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
I wanted to follow up on my earlier message about standardizing lean practices across facilities. We recently compiled benchmarking data from 40+ enterprise manufacturers showing the most common gaps between high-performing and underperforming plants.
The top three gaps were all process-related rather than equipment-related, which means they are addressable without capital expenditure. Given the scope of operations at {{company_name}}, even closing one of these gaps across your sites could yield significant returns.
Would the benchmarking data be useful for your planning? 4-7% reply rate

- Reference industry-specific benchmarks from their manufacturing sector
When to Use
Use 5-7 days after the initial email to an enterprise operations director who has not responded.
When NOT to Use
Avoid if you don't have credible benchmarking data to share if they say yes.
