South African operations often know they lag competitors or sister sites but lack a disciplined way to measure the gap and close it. This course teaches structured benchmarking, covering how to choose meaningful measures, gather comparable data ethically, and adapt proven practices to local conditions. Participants learn to run a benchmarking study end to end and to transfer best practice between sites without simply copying what will not fit.
This course suits operations managers, continuous improvement leaders, plant managers, and business analysts responsible for lifting performance toward proven benchmarks.
