Benchmarking:
Benchmarking in the automobile industry involves a structured comparison between similar products serives or processes on some dimensions of performances.

• Monitor Performance: Benchmarking involves looking at current trends in data and projecting future trends depending on what you aim to achieve. In order to know you have been successful, benchmarking needs to be a continuous process. Monitoring performance is an inherent characteristic of it.
  
  
• Continuous Improvement: As well as monitor performance, continuous improvement is an essential attribute of benchmarking. This is because the aim of benchmarking is to improve a certian element of a business.This improvement should not merely be something that improves once and is forgotten, but something that improves over time and is continuous.
  
  
• Planning and Goal Setting: Once benchmarking has been carried out, goals and performance metrics are set in order to improve performance. These goals are new, more competitive targets for a company but they must be achievable.
  
  
• Understand Your Companies Advantages: Benchmarking identifies where your company is right now compared to where you want it to go. If you are looking at improving any process in your business, benchmarking is a way of looking at how you can excel and become more successful through outlining the steps needed to achieve your goal.
