FIA Orders & Shipments Survey Relaunched
Powered by Wipfli (formerly Harbour Results)
The FIA Orders & Shipments (O&S) Survey has been redesigned in partnership with Wipfli to offer a more user-friendly experience for tracking industry trends. This confidential program gathers monthly data on North American bookings and shipments of forged products across Impression Die, Open-Die, and Rolled Ring processes.
Key Features of the FIA O&S Survey:
- Industry Partnership: Developed in collaboration with Wipfli, the firm also leading FIA’s ongoing research on forging capacity.
- Confidential Data Collection: FIA members securely submit monthly orders and shipments using a custom-built, confidential survey platform.
- Comprehensive Tracking: Data is segmented by forging process (Open-Die, Closed-Die, Rolled Ring), materials used, and markets served (When enough data is available).
- Time-Efficient: Monthly survey submissions take 30 minutes or less.
- Historical Data Setup: Participants can still access their historical data if they have submitted it before and continue to respond.
- Members-Only Benefit: This program is exclusive to FIA members.
By contributing and analyzing monthly bookings and shipments across forging processes, materials, and markets, members gain a clearer picture of demand trends, market shifts, and capacity utilization across the North American forging industry. With the survey’s improved ease-of-use and confidentiality, FIA members can stay ahead of market trends while contributing to the collective strength of the forging community.
