The Six Sigma Automotive Suppliers Benchmarking Association™ (6SASBA™) brings together Six Sigma professionals from companies in the automotive industry to conduct benchmarking studies to identify practices that improve the effectiveness of Six Sigma activities.
Benchmarking is a performance measurement tool used in conjunction with improvement initiatives; it measures comparative operating performance of companies and identifies the "best practices."
Benchmarking creates value by
- Focusing on key performance gaps;
- Identifying ideas from other companies;
- Creating a consensus to move an organization forward;
- Making better decisions from a larger base of facts.
