Benchmarking Goes On Despite Tough Times
During
tough economic times, businesses have less money for onsite
benchmarking visits, but that does not mean learning through
benchmarking needs to end. The
Association for Manufacturing Excellence and
APQC are continuing to build a Benchmarking Community of
Practice to further organizational process improvement. The
community is administered largely online, with members
asking for — and receiving — immediate responses to
questions they pose about benchmarking. The community is
international and includes representatives from a wide range
of industries.
Members
follow a formal query process, and the group regularly hosts
online Webinars for benchmarking as well as in-person
meetings at major conferences. For more information, go to
either group’s Web site.
