Benchmarking is the pursuit of superior company performance through best practices. It involves setting operational targets based on industry best practices. Traditional target-setting methods have left some companies vulnerable to global competition. Japanese philosophy of "dantotsu" (striving to be the best of the best) embodies the essence of gaining a competitive edge.
Benchmarking is globally embraced for achieving operational excellence. It's a structured, proactive process leading to superior performance and competitive advantage. It involves comparing one's function to others and adopting best practices for profitability, high inventory turnover, and asset returns.
Benchmarking is positive and proactive, aiding in goal setting based on the best practices of the industry. It differs from traditional methods, aiming for constant improvement.
This presentation is based on Robert C. Camp's Xerox Benchmarking Process model. It covers benchmarking benefits, types, identifying targets, and project execution steps, including site visits, etiquette, and success factors.
