This process is usually referred to as "Technical Benchmarking" or "Product Benchmarking". Its use is particularly well developed within the automotive industry ("Automotive Benchmarking"), where it is vital to design products that match precise user expectations, at minimum possible cost, by applying the best technologies available worldwide. Many data are obtained by fully disassembling existing cars and their systems. Such analyses were initially carried out in-house by car makers and their suppliers. However, as they are expensive, they are increasingly outsourced to companies specialized in this area. Indeed, outsourcing has enabled a drastic decrease in costs for each company (by cost sharing) and the development of very efficient tools (standards, software).<br /><br />From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmarking">Wikipedia</a>, the free encyclopedia<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7263957907754649466-344946793303032531?l=roedy-product-benchmarking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Roedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00975857679150274820noreply@blogger.com0
