The
correlation between performance and best practice rating then enables the
competitive position of a shipyard to be established. In effect, the benchmarking
system explains why the level of performance is what it is and determines
the processes and practices that need to be adopted to improve performance
to a pre-determined level. It ensures that both short and long-term improvement
plans are properly focussed and that resources are concentrated where they
are most needed. |

few months and provide immediate benefits, long-term plans result in continuous
and sustainable improvement, typically 10% to 15% per annum, that help secure
the shipyard's future. |

The system was originally developed for
shipbuilding but has been expanded for ship repair and conversion and
general manufacturing. The one hundred and thirty elements of the system
are formed into eighteen groups. Some groups relate only to specific sectors
of industry, others such as marketing and product development, human resources
and purchasing and supply chain are widely applicable.
The system has been applied in over one
hundred shipyards world-wide and recently formed the basis for industry
studies in the USA, the UK, mainland Europe, Japan and South Korea. Our
benchmarking activities provide us with detailed and unparalleled knowledge
of international shipbuilding and repair operations.
