Benchmarking serves not only as an important management tool for modern enterprises in pursuing outstanding performance but also a vital role in enhancing a country’s competitiveness. Some major trustworthy and outstanding organizations, such as American Productivity & Quality Center (APQC), and Asian Productivity Organization (APO) are providing assistance in enhancing their member countries’ competitiveness.

In APO’s regular annual meetings, they would invite well-performing companies and benchmarked companies to participate in their seminars, in which members can have experience exchange. In 2000, APO also set up the Best Practice Network. The annually held seminar serves as a benchmarking exchange platform for all member countries.

In order to help domestic companies to implement benchmarking, improve industry potential, the Department of Industrial Technology (DOIT), Ministry of Economic Affairs authorized Chinese Productivity Center to establish this database website. The DOIT also invite professionals in the field to establish a tailor-made benchmarking platform, for the competitiveness of domestic industries to promote multilateral experience exchange between corporations and international benchmark industries to obtain the best practice within and outside our country. Furthermore, it is our hope that, through the process and practice of benchmarking, we are able not only to facilitate the competitiveness of domestic enterprises, but also to take one step further in facilitating overall competitiveness of the country and closing up the gap between domestic enterprises and world-class corporations.

The key to successful benchmarking lies in a trustful and open-minded learning attitude of corporations. Through exchanging best practices, corporations can accelerate the growth of the whole industry. The database of benchmark industry serves as a platform for companies to exchange information. In order to fully implement carry out benchmarking, we hope that companies involved can share their successful experiences to maximize the effectiveness of this database.
