- Against which companies will you benchmark?
- What parameters will you attempt to benchmark?
- How will you obtain information on those (competitor) companies?
- Will you rely on public reports and documents such as Annual Reports and SEC filings, or will you need to enlist the services of a consulting/business intelligence organization?
- Will you attempt to benchmark against only companies in your industry or look at world-class companies in other industries?
- If you look at companies in other industries, how will you adjust/account for the difference in industries?
Change Management
- Do you have the (internal) resources to lead/control the changes that will be needed?
- Do you have the right personnel now, or will you need to replace/reassign some people?
- Do you have the (internal) resources to conduct the training that will be required, or will you need to hire a training organization?
- If you hire, what are the characteristics of the organization for which you will be looking?
- Who will be responsible for managing the corporate/divisional change?
- What is the time frame for achieving the change?
- Who will define the change that needs to be made?
- Is there a budget for the process? If so, how much? Is the budget adequate for the anticipated man hours that will be expended?
- How will your organization recognize when the change process is complete?
- What is your organization’s definition of success?
Performance Measurement
- What are the key performance measurements that best define/represent the current performance level?
- Inventory turns, cost per transaction/shipment, labor efficiency (dollars of output divided by man hours), machine efficiency (dollars of input divided by hours of operation), equipment uptime, transportation costs, raw material costs, or overhead?
