Bench Marking - Business Excellence Assessment Model

Bench Marking, a powerful tool for improving productivity and competitiveness. Bench Marking fosters process orientation and facilitates establishing appropriate performance measures for each business process.

BenchMarking is a common practice adopted by industries to:
   Measure their process maturity
   Continuously seek for an opportunity to improve
   Knowing their industry partners
   Compare with overall industry market
   Prepare for competitive edge

To enable for such measurement, the key would be to define a structural view of your operation and set a baseline for each area which is practical to achieve at the moment. The assessment period shouldn't be too short to respond to results (or) it shouldn't be too long to reap the benefit out of it.

We have also published a white paper in the 19th International Conference of UITIC about BenchMarking (Internation Union of Shoe Industry Technicians). This indicates our proficiency in BenchMarking.
