The process of developing a case study is easy and efficient:
- You choose a topic of interest from PTDA’s existing list or an
industry related topic of your choice.
- A PTDA staff member will contact you and conduct a 30-minute
interview.
- At a specified date, the PTDA staff member will deliver an
electronic draft of your case study based on the interview.
- You review the draft, make any desired changes and return the
document to the PTDA staff member. This process continues until
you approve the final copy.
- The final copy is posted on the PTDA web site and in PTDA
publications. In addition, case studies are regularly optioned for
exclusive publication in industry trade magazine such as Industrial
Distribution, Modern Distribution Magazine,
Progressive Distributor and Machinery and Equipment
MRO.
By volunteering, you and your company receive:
- An opportunity to share success stories with industry partners and
peers to benefit the entire channel.
- Increased visibility in PTDA publications, like
Transmissions® and the Annual Report.
- Presence on association’s web site at www.ptda.org/BestPracticeLibrary,
accessible to members only.

publications.
