Benchmarking Process
• 4 questions– What should we benchmark?– Whom should we benchmark?– How do we perform the process?– How do they perform the process?
![Page 13: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Benchmarking Process
• PLAN– Select the process– Form Team– Understand & document process– Establish performance measure
• SEARCH– Listing Criteria for partner selection– Conduct general / secondary research– Decide the level to Benchmark– Identify potential partners & contact
![Page 16: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Approaches to Benchmarking
• Internal & External Benchmarking• Performance or Competitive Benchmarking• Functional and Generic Benchmarking• Strategic Benchmarking• Process Benchmarking• International Bench marking
![Page 19: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Internal Benchmarking
• Establishing good practices in the organisation • Comparison of similar functions in different
operating units within the organisation • Advantages
– Easier to implement– Easier to access data
• Disadvantages– No external ideas– Time-consuming
![Page 20: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
External Benchmarking
• Comparison of organisation functions and key processes against Good Practices
• Advantages– Helps to measure one’s own performance– Helps to search for best practices
• Disadvantages– Takes time– Requires support– Cross-cultural differences
![Page 21: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Functional Benchmarking
• Comparison of similar functions against external best in any industry
• Advantages: – Developing networks – Discovering innovative practices
• Disadvantage: – Not suitable for every organisation
![Page 22: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Process Benchmarking
• Focus on specific operations or processes• Examples:
– in higher education-enquiry management, enrolment
– in Logistics- delivery, safety– in hotels—housekeeping, customer care,
![Page 23: benchmarking-120314080128-phpapp01](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/55cf91f5550346f57b92232d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Generic Benchmarking
• Comparison of functions which are generic in nature in any industry
• Example– Hospitals in the U.S. routinely benchmark their
patient management against hotel’s guest management.

share, Retention rates, profits, costs
