Benchmarking
Benchmarking is a valuable tool for utilities and an important part of continual improvement efforts. It is often tied to internal performance management and linked to strategic or tactical improvement plans. Benchmarking is a means of measuring improvements related to service level targets, efficiency, quality, and effectiveness. Externally, it provides the ability to report against customer and environmental targets, communicate with stakeholders, compare with peer organizations, and link to industrywide frameworks such as Effective Utility Management.
