) Prepare a report explaining what is Bench-Marking

Bench marking in the automobile Industry involves a structural comparison between similar products ,services or processes on some dimensions of performances .

Types of Bench Marking :

There are different types of Bench Marking

i ) Internal Bench Marking - within one's own organization or company

ii ) External Bench Marking - comparing yourself with respect to other companies or competitors

It is further classified into

i ) process Bench Marking :

• Demonstration of how top performing companies accomplish the specific process
• such bench marking is gathered via research ,survey or interviews and site visits
• such information affirms and supports decision-making by executives

Process benchmarking 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

ii) performance Bench marking

• performance metrics give numerical standard against which a client's own processes can be compared
• These metrics are usually determined via detailed and carefully analyzed surveys or interviews
• client's can then identify performance gaps , prioritize action items and then conduct follow on studies to determine methods of improvement
