4flow consulting accomplishes specific comprehensive benchmarking studies.
Challenge
A benchmarking is often triggered by the following situations:
- A positioning prior to the re-design or the re-engineering of logistics is necessary and/or desired.
- The position of the company´s supply chain compared to competing companies is based on estimations only.
- Findings from the best practice of other companies and branches are to be used for the own enterprise.
Approach
4flow consulting is familiar with the critical success factors of benchmarking and accompanies enterprises during the whole process:
- Construction of a process model as basis of comparison,
- definition of the criteria for comparison,
- selection of benchmarking partners,
- investigation of the information for benchmarking, in a neutral notary’s model if necessary,
- analysis of the results of the benchmarking,
- transfer of precise recommendations that are to be realized.
Results
Typical results that 4flow consulting achieves for enterprises in benchmarking projects are:
- Transparency of strategies, structures, costs and the performance of the company’s supply chain,
- neutral view on the strengthes and weaknesses of the company,
- definition of the gap towards industry-wide best practice values.
 - Example of benchmarking results by 4flow consulting
- Motivation to groundbreaking measures, questioning and breaking down grown structures,
