Area II. Topic F. Benchmarking

Introduction

Benchmarking is a tool that has been employed for many years to search for ‘best practices’ in, for example, business operations, customer relations, product design and manufacturing.... In contemporary business and quality improvement language, benchmarking refers to the formal and systematic process of continually measuring and evaluating the performance of your own and other’s (ideally the best of all the others) products or processes and using the results to make informed business and engineering decisions. Benchmarking may involve both qualitative (e.g. ideas and overall approaches) and quantitative (e.g. costs and productivity) measurements and evaluations. — J.L. Fridley, J.E. Jorgensen, J.S. Lamancusa, Benchmarking: A Process Basis for Teaching Design
