The EPMA Benchmarking Programme for the European PM Industry is the process of identifying "best practice" for companies in relation to the manufacture of products and the processes by which those products are created and delivered.

The purpose of the EPMA Benchmarking Programme is to provide your company an understanding and evaluation of its current position, in relation to the rest of the industry sector. A result of the Benchmarking process will be to enable your company to identify the key areas for future performance improvement.

This FREE to use EPMA Member service offers participants a confidential competitive Benchmarking process against similar companies/organisations.

External benchmarking is a requirement under both ISO9000:2000 and ISO TC16949.
