Benchmarking

BENCHMARKING:

It is the process of comparing one's business process and performance metrics to industries' bests and/or best practices from other industries. Process benchmarking includes studying process flows, operating systems, process technologies, and the operation of target firms and departments. Also, it can be defined as the way of discovering what is the best performance achieved-whether in a particular company, by a competitor, or by an entirely different industry. 

Three primary classifications of Benchmarking :

Although there are many forms of benchmarking, they can be classified into three categories-internal, competitive and strategic.

INTERNAL  BENCHMARKING:s used when a company already has established and proven best practices and simply needs to share them. Internal benchmarking also may be necessary if comparable industries are not readily available.

COMPETITIVE BENCHMARKING: is used when a company wants to evaluate its position within when a company needs to identify industry leadership performance targets.

STRATEGIC BENCHMARKING: is used when identifying and analyzing world-class performance. This form of benchmarking is used most a company needs to go outside of its industry.

STEP-BY-STEP ABOUT BENCHMARKING:

Benchmarking is a simple, but detailed, five-step process.

• Choose a product, service, or internal department to benchmark.
• Determine which best-in-class companies you should benchmark against, and which organizations you will compare your business to.
• Gather information on their internal performance, or matrics.
• compare the data from both organizations to identify gaps n your company's performance.
• adopt the processes and policies in place within the best-in-class performers.

In order to benchmark anything, you need to have quantitative data available to study. That means breaking down internal processes to calculate performance metrics. Quantify everything, because only quantifiable normation can be accurately compared.

In my view :

Mr.D.S. Pughazhyendhii's family requires what Safe Car yet the value which offers an Equilibrium strike of Mileage, Maintenance with Good space, Features, and Social Status too of not to be owning car which is of entry segment one which offers Value.

With Transformation happening in Mindsets - Safety along with Good Interiors, Features are also making an important buying aspect.

Mr.D.S. Pughazhyendhii's major requirements in a car: 

• 5 seater vehicle for family members.
• Good mileage. 
• Budget around 8 - 10 lakhs. 
• Good car for easy commuting within the city and long drives as well.

   I would suggest diesel/ petrol  Engine Vehicles, SUVs are preferable.
