4. Answer the following questions

a. What is Benchmarking?
Benchmarking is comparing one's business processes and performance metrics to
industry bests and best practices from other companies. In project management
benchmarking can also support the selection, planning and delivery of projects.
Also dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of
best practice benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry,
or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compares the results and
processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes. In
this way, they learn how well the targets perform and, more importantly, the
business processes that explain why these firms are successful. According to
National Council on Measurement in Education, benchmark assessments

b. What is the process of Benchmarking?

There is no single benchmarking process that has been universally adopted. The
wide appeal and acceptance of benchmarking has led to the emergence of
benchmarking methodologies. One seminal book is Boxwell's Benchmarking for
Competitive Advantage

The first book on benchmarking, written and published by Kaiser Associates, is a

practical guide and offers a seven-step approach. Robert Camp developed a 12-
stage approach to benchmarking. The 12 stage methodology consists of:

 Select subject
 Define the process
 Identify potential partners
 Identify data sources
 Collect data and select partners
 Determine the gap
 Establish process differences
 Target future performance
 Communicate
 Adjust goal
 Implement
 Review and recalibrate

c. Number the aspects to be taken into account in Benchmarking:

the quality can be added or meet the predetermined standards. In

6. Write ten lines text that summarizes the topic of the activity.

The supply and demand model is used to analyze markets competitive where there
are many buyers and many sellers in where none of them has influence on the
price. The law of supply and demand reflects the relationship between the demand
that exists for a good in the market and the quantity thereof that is offered based
on the price that is established. It must be considered that the market is of free
competition, there are negotiations between the bidders and the plaintiffs and free
merchandise traffic is allowed. The theory says that speaking within a market of
perfect competition, the price of a good will be placed at a "point of equilibrium"
where demand equals supply. That point of equilibrium is the price at which
consumers are willing to buy the good
