Abstract
Benchmarking is an ongoing means for systematically measuring and comparing the work processes of one institution to another by bringing an external focus on internal activities, functions, or operations. Its purpose is to give managers an external standard for evaluating the quality and cost of their institution's internal activities and processes. The author presents a description and example of Performance Indicator Process Benchmarking to orientation programs.
