2 Prepare a report explaining what is Bench-Marking ?

ANS= In easy way bench marking is to compare 2 cars.

Means to compare 2 cars involves a structured comparison between similar products, services or processes on some dimensions of performance.

Process benchmarking of this kind can operate at several levels:

• Between similar processes in the same factory or service branch

• Between different factories or service branches

• Between different competing organizations

• Between different sectors using the same process

According to my research:

¨Whilst if offers a significant learning opportunity benchmarking between competing organizations is harder than the other three because competitors do not want to disclose their process information since it is a source of competitive advantage to tem. So benchmarking of this kind often involves a third party who can collect the data, make the comparison and provide feedback but all on a confidential basis.
