“Benchmarking – Learn from Each Other”

Benchmarking is:

  • An improvement process which measures a company’s performance against other companies considered to be "best-in-class“.
  • Looks at how those companies achieved their high performance.
  • Information gained from the benchmark activity is applied as part of the continuous improvement process.
  • Competitive Benchmarking compares your products or services to the competition. 
  • Comparative Benchmarking comparing your products or services to those similar to yours.

A few businesses we work with have offered to provide tours of their facilities in trade for tours of other facilities.  If you are interested in some Comparative Benchmarking and would like to trade tours, please let Ric know (ricvdl@progressivedge.com). In 2012, he will be coordinating some tour trades in the San Diego area.

A message to the LSS Green Belts.

This message is intended for the ProgressivEdge Lean Six Sigma Certified Green Belts. Have you thought about getting your Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification?

Now, you can attend the remaining 8 days spread throughout 2012 and become LSS Black Belt certified by the end of the year (assuming you meet all requirements for certification).
