Benchmarking

BENCHMARKING

Benchmarking is defined as the process of measuring products, services, and processes against those of organizations known to be leaders in one or more aspects of their operations. Benchmarking provides necessary insights to help you understand how your organization compares with similar organizations, even if they are in a different business or have a different group of customers.Benchmarking can also help organizations identify areas, systems, or processes for improvements—either incremental (continuous) improvements or dramatic (business process re-engineering) improvements.There are two basic kinds of improvement opportunities: continuous and dramatic. Continuous improvement is incremental, involving only small adjustments to reap sizeable advances. Dramatic improvement can only come about through reengineering the whole internal work process.

BENCHMARKING PROCEDURE

Considerations

its own processe must be clearly understood and under control.

benchmarking dtudie require significant investment of manpower and time, so management must champion the process all the way through, including being ready and willing to make changes based on what is learned.

Too broad a scope dooms the project to failure. A subject that is not critical to the organization’s success won’t return enough benefits to make the study worthwhileInadequate resources can also doom a benchmarking study by underestimating the effort involved or inadequate planning. The better you prepare, the more efficient your study will be.

Plan

1. Define a tightly focused subject of the benchmarking study. Choose an issue critical to the organization’s success.
2. Form a cross-functional team. During Step 1 and 2, management’s goals and support for the study must be firmly established.
3. Study your own process. Know how the work is done and measurements of the output.
4. Identify partner organizations that may have best practices.

Collect

1. Collect information directly from partner organizations. Collect both process descriptions and numeric data, using questionnaires, telephone interviews, and/or site visits.

Analyze

1. Compare the collected data, both numeric and descriptive.
2. Determine gaps between your performance measurements and those of your partners.
3. Determine the differences in practices that cause the gaps.

Adapt

1. Develop goals for your organization’s process.
2. Develop action plans to achieve those goals.
3. Implement and monitor plans.

Here i am going to make a benchmark for pughazhyenthii requirment.

1.Baleno

The Maruti Baleno is one of the nicest looking Marutis currently sold. It adopts a cleaner exterior with curvaceous elements that highlight its new “liquid flow” design theme.

While the design of the front-end is a mixed bag, the Baleno starts to look pretty when you step towards the rear, where the sloping roofline, high waistline and raked windscreen give it a potent look.

review

i am suggesting Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii TATA NEXON because it is a most important one than anything else. as for everyone so i'm litterally focusing on safety rather than speed. now a days mostly all the cars are coming with a air bags. it's is an essential one.

after a complete analyse among the four cars i picked up a TATA NEXON.

REASONS

enough cabin space and boot space

attractive look with sun roof

brake assist. option

i just aware of tata which is an indian company. so i believe this was really familier with indian conditions.

CONCLUSION

from the above 4 cars i'm suggesting a tata nexon car for high on safety and an aggressive look and feature are also unique.
