ASBABenchmarking Mission

To identify "Best in Class" business processes, which, when implemented, will lead member companies to exceptional performance as perceived by their customers.

 

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is a performance measurement tool used in conjunction with improvement initiatives; it measures comparative operating performance of companies and identifies the "best practices."

Benchmarking creates value by

• Focusing on key performance gaps;
• Identifying ideas from other companies;
• Creating a consensus to move an organization forward;
• Making better decisions from a larger base of facts.

ASBABenchmarking Benefits

• ASBABenchmarking utilizes Benchmarking to assist it members as they shift from their low cost strategies to the more complex strategies necessary to establish and support lean production systems.
• As the supply chain consolidates, automakers are demanding that suppliers add value, and respond quickly. The association is responding by offering benchmarking services. The Association is open to ideas from members to make ASBABenchmarking a world class group to provide valuable assistance to support the members.
• ASBABenchmarking will offer to conduct benchmarking studies on topics of interest to the membership. Members will be given the opportunity to rank proposed topics and to suggest topics of their own.
• There are two types of benchmarking studies offered to the members:
• Association studies are offered to the membership as a whole with costs divided.
• Single Company sponsored studies addressing the interest of one member company can be offered to other selected members for no fee. (inquiries welcomed)
