Conclusion
Now a days, more than 60% companies in the world uses this technique for fixing their target for continuous improvement. For them it is an important tool. But to be effective it must be used properly. It breaks down (waste money, time and energy and some times morale too) if process owners and managers feel threatened or do not accept and act on the findings. Finally, benchmarking is not a substitute for innovation; however, it is a source of ideas from outside the organization.
