Benchmarking

Report -

Benchmarking-

• Benchmarking is an evaluation process of a manufacturer that is measured against the process of its competitors or peers within a given industry.
• The goal is to create and implement improvement plans and best practices to increase performance in the production lifecycle, and/or other manufacturing and business processes and practices.
• By discovering the best achievable performance, process gaps can be eliminated.

While product benchmarking in the automotive industry traditionally involves other manufacturers, its primary purpose is to positively impact internal processes.

Consequently, benchmarking can be based on internal measurement where cooperative manufacturing process benchmarks of other manufactures is a secondary measure.

This goes to the heart to understanding the purpose and use of benchmarking.

Often benchmarking is focused on the manufacturing process itself to:

• Improve quality
• Decrease manufacturing times
• Reduce Scrap and rework
• Increase production

Clearly in any benchmarking study, the choice of which attributes to measure is of paramount importance.

This centers on a set of performance measures and often how closely a plant adhered to the “lean production model”.

This would involve three primary areas including productivity, quality and time.

From this the following best practices can be applied for benchmarking to ensure the right approach and the right outcome measurement.

The benchmarking program delivers an overview of results for all main attributes in the competitive landscape described.

Comparison colud be for following parameters-

• Performance
• Driveability
• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• Sound / NVH
• RDE: CO2 / Real life fuel consumption
• Pollutant emissions
• Friction
• Thermal, energy management
• Vehicle dynamics, handling
• Ride Comfort
