Benchmarking
what is benchmarking:
Benchmarking is the practice of comparing business processes and performance metrices
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 then compared to other's.
Also reffered 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 best-practice companies' processes, usually with a peer group defined for the
purposes of comparison. this then allows organizations to develop plans in how to make
improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some
aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be aone-off event, but this often treated as
a continuous process in which organization continually seek to improve their practices
