Benchmark:

• Benchmarking is the practice of comparing business processes and performance metrics to industry bests and best practices from other companies.

The point of benchmarking is to identify internal opportunities for improvement. By studying companies with superior performance, breaking down what makes such superior performance possible, and then comparing those processes to how your business operates, you can implement changes that will yield significant improvements.

Main types of Benchmarking:

1. Performance Benchmarking:Here the quantitative data such as KPIs, measure, etc are compared. It is the initially step taken by the companies to identify and understand the performance gaps.
2. Practice Benchmarking:it is a collection and comparison of qualitative data such as how an activity is carried in a company through people, process and technology.
3. Internal Benchmarking:as the name suggests this benchmarking is carried among the internal entities of the company which have shared metrics and/or practices. The internal entities can be based on the different units, product lines, departments, programs, geographies, etc., within the company.
4. External Benchmarking:it is similar to the internal benchmarking, instead of comparing among the internal entities the comparison is carried out between different companies.
