Benchmarking

1. Benchmarking is that to compare the vehicle for one to another. For Mr.D.S pughazyendhil need the car specifications that he needed 5 seater and above , needed good milage vehicle that falls under the rate of 8 to 10 lakhs, he is fond of big cars.

Based on his requirements benchmarking the list of car companies below.

Mahindra bolero car is a six seater vehicle with diesel fuel type ,engine capacity is 1493cc , with manual transmision gear box which is a big car. And the car generates 75bhp, 3600rpm and 210nm torque. this car gives 16.7 km per litre mileage and the price is 9.47 lakh.

Maruthi Suzuki ertiga car is a seven seater suv vehicle with diesel fuel type, engine capacity is 1498cc , with manual trasmission gear box. And car generates 94bhp, 4000rpm and 225nm torque. this car gives 24.2 km per litre mileage and the price is 9.87 lakh.

By comparing all this four cars tata nexon is the best pick for Mr.D.S.Pughazyendhil because it has good mileage, engine power and with in price range.

2. Benchmarking is a process of comparision. It comes under vehicle development process in that first step is pre design and development for pre design and development process benchmarking is important. Comparing the features of the existing vehicles after comparing the vehicles then move on to concept preparation in this what are the needs required for the development will be taken. After this carry over study will be done that is inheriting some features from the past vehicles then atlast once again benchmarking will take place that detailed study of above all stages and comparing the individual components of the vehicles.

4. Benchmarking makes the important role in the new vehicle development process and it is essential for a company or an indivudial who are going to manufacturing the new vehicles. Benchmarking generates profits for the companies that they are producing new features in the development so demand will be raised because of this.

From the above four vehicles i suggest maruthi suzuki swift is the best vehicle to be choosen because of engine capacity, mileage, torque and price are good and reasonable.
