Benchmarking Logistics in Manufacturing Firms

Abstract

Benchmarking has become more commonplace in recent years as managers sought to improve their firms' operations by examining strategic practices of leading companies. The focus of the current research is the benchmarking of logistics among United States manufacturers. The researchers explore the relationships between benchmarking practices and selected organizational variables. Benchmarking relates to size, internal and supplier performance measurement, organizational formalization, and technology adoption.
