Benchmarking

• Came to prominence in the 1980s
• A way of measuring performance outside 

the firm

• Widespread interest to understand an 

organisation‟s performance relative to 
others

• Gave companies insights into how much 

they had to improve as well as ideas on 
how they might improve

Types of Benchmarking

• Internal

Comparing operations or parts of operations in the same organisation

• External

Comparing the same operations or parts of operations in different 
organisations

• Non-competitive

Comparing against organisations that do not compete in the same markets

• Competitive

Direct comparison between competitors in the same markets

• Performance

Comparing levels of achieved performance in different operations

• Practice

Comparing an operation‟s practices with those adopted elsewhere

Basic Rules for Successful 

Benchmarking

• A thorough understanding of your own 

processes

• An examination of what is already in the 

public domain

• Do not discard pieces of information that 

seem irrelevant

• Be sensitive about what you ask from 

other companies

Supply Chain Operations 

Reference Model

Developed and endorsed by the Supply-Chain Council as 
the cross-industry standard diagnostic tool for supply-chain 
management. SCOR enables users to address, improve 
and communicate supply-chain management practices 
within and between all interested parties: spanning from 
supplier‟s supplier to customer‟s customer.

The metrics incorporate “calculations by which an 
implementing organisation can measure how successful 
they are in achieving their desired positioning within the 
competitive market space”

SCOR

chain management and related supply chain improvement activities.
