Benchmarking
BENCHMARKING
Benchmarking is the practice of comparing business processes and performance metri to industry bests and best practices from other companies. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost.
Benchmarking is used to measure performance using a specific indicator (cost per unit of measure, productivity per unit of measure, cycle time of x per unit of measure or defects per unit of measure) resulting in a metric of performance that is then compared to others.
Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", this process is used in management in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best-practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison. This then allows organizations to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to improve their practices.
The vehicle benchmarking program considers 10 main attributes scoring up to 815 single criteria. The 10 main attribute are as follows:
- Performance
- Driveability
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Sound / NVH
- RDE: CO2 / Real life fuel consumption
- Pollutant emissions
- Friction
- Thermal, energy management
- Vehicle dynamics, handling
- Ride Comfort

After doing some research, I have chosen four cars-
1) Hyundai Venue E 1.2L Petrol
2) Tata Nexon XMA AMT
3) Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza VXI
4) Ford Ecosport Ambiente 1.5L TDCi

Conclusion
For Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii, I recommend Ford EcoSport because of Good driving and safety beautiful design. Good mileage and sporty look and good quality strong vehicle. The car is the best in the city drive also. I suggest him because it is a diesel-powered vehicle.
The Ford EcoSport scored an overall rating of 4-star in the frontal crash tests and 5-star in the side-impact crash tests. But the compact SUV scored only 3-star in the resistance to rollover test. The 3-star rating is pretty low as most of the cars hardly get a rating of less than 4-star from NHTSA.
Ford Ecosport offers
- A good ride quality
- A strong build car
- Probably the best petrol and diesel engine
- The good touch screen system
- Space management is not the best
- Fun fact ford cars are best when it comes to driving in rain or where there is standing water.
- The car offers a sunroof.
As he has a child with him to carry I highly recommend Ford EcoSport. Because it scored 4 out of 5 in ASEAN NCAP Crash test for all adult occupant protection.
