The verdict

Plouse Precision Manufacturing: 2.7 TCR = 82% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plouse Precision Manufacturing safety composite

Plouse Precision Manufacturing scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
