Benchmarking
- What is Benchmarking?
Ans- Benchmarking involves a structured comparison 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 basis of consumer tests and reviews. These look at products and services and provide recommendations based on which is best or some form of ranking amongst competitors.
It is particularly useful when comparing not only performance but also practice – in other words what do the different organizations do to enable that performance to be delivered?
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
