| /AB, /XT | ABSTRACT: Steve Ward offers some important tips on |
| benchmarking. According to the manufacturing and development | |
| systems director for IBM, companies should also consider | |
| benchmarking organizations that are involved in businesses | |
| that are not similar to theirs. He also cautions | |
| benchmarkers against relying solely on process emulation as | |
| a possible course of action after benchmarking. He cites | |
| partnering of a process and contracting of a service as | |
| other avenues that companies may take after benchmarking. | |
| Regardless of what action is taken, benchmarkers should be | |
| sure that is leads to increased value for them. Lastly, | |
| Ward suggests that benchmarking should not used only for | |
| continuous-improvement efforts which only strive for minute | |
| goals. He says that benchmarking can also be employed for | |
| implementing major change processes. | |
| TEXT: | |
| It almost sounds like one of those do-it-yourself, | |
| /LP, /XT | take-home, genius tests: "What do a computer maker and a |
| blood bank have in common?" | |
| The answer: both can learn from benchmarking one | |
| another's processes. Both deal with products-- | |
| electromechanical devices and blood packets--which must be | |
| handled, stored, and shipped. And both products are highly | |
| susceptible to very subtle damage. And this sort of | |
| benchmarking behavior is anything but aberrant. Other like | |
| . | |

| /TX | "The Japanese term dantotsu, which means striving to be the |
| 'best of the best,' incorporates the essence of the process | |
| they use to establish competitive advantage. | |
| We Americans have no such word, perhaps because | |
| we always assumed we were the best. We | |
| cannot assume that anymore."--Robert C. Camp, writing in | |
| Benchmarking, The Search for Industry Best Practices tha | |
| Lead to Superior Performance (ASQC Quality Press), a book | |
| recommended and used by Steve Ward. | |
