Benchmarking:

The continuous process of measuring products, services, and practices against the toughest competition, or those companies renowned as the leaders.

Why Use Benchmarking?

Anyone intending to start an operational improvement project needs to set realistic improvement goals.  Goals too high cause de-motivation and ultimately project failure.  Goals too low leave potential savings on the table.  Benchmarking competitors, including best-in-class companies, produces:

•   real-world doable goals.

•   a ranking - "here is where you stand"

•   hints on what aspects of your performance might  produce the best  improvement leverage on effort.

•  define industry best-practices
