  /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.
