Benchmarking:-

Benchmarking consists of a proper comparison between similar products, services, processes, or programs on the basis of some factors. Benchmarking is to compare the given product with the best product in that area. For example in cricket for some people, the benchmarking for some people would be like the Sachin Tendulkar, while others like M.S. Dhoni, etc. So benchmarking consists of comparing our product to the best product in that field. The best product may vary from person to person or place to place.
