Benchmarking

1.I suggest MARUTI SX4 (The SX4 comes with ABS with EBD and airbags as standard, integrated audio system and height adjustable drivers seat. The price range start from Rs.8.41 lakh and ends at Rs.8.75 lakhs for the top end Zxi and Zxi leather edition respectively.)

2.Benchmarking in the automobile industry involves a structured comparision between similar products,services or processes on some dimensions of performance.

For example: 

it can be used to compare the availability and delivery of features in a product and in this form often provides the basics of consumer test and review.these look at the products and service and provide recommendations based on which is best or some form of ranking amongst competitors.it is particularly useful when comparing not ony performence but also practice - in other words what do the different organizations do to enable that performence to be delivered? And applied in this way it is a powerful tool in the process innovation on studying how the ' best' achieve their performance can provide powerful clues for changing the way processes operate.

Process benchmarking of this kind can operate at serveral levels:

*Between similar processes in the same factory or services branch

*Between different factories or service branches 

*Between different competing organizations 

*Between different sectors using the same process
