Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the comparative analysis with a defined reference value. This information is used to improve processes and services for companies. The LANGE CONSULTING company has extensive experience in benchmarking and provides companies with support during the entire benchmarking process.
Initial situations from my experience :
- The current situation must be evaluated before re-designing logistics.
- The logistical situation of one's own company is based solely on estimates.
- Other companies' best practice should provide knowledge for one's own company.
Approach:
- Definition of the comparative criteria
- Survey of the information for benchmarking
- Evaluation of the results of benchmarking
- Identification of concrete recommendations for action
Results:
- Clear, objective identification of the company's strengths and weaknesses in comparison
- Identification of the gaps to the best practice values existent "cross-industry"
- Motivation to introduce measures and to investigate and split open long-established structures
- Improvement of the cost situation and design of a continuous improvement process)
