Like functional and competitive benchmarking, process benchmarking depends for its success upon the availability of information. However, much of the necessary information is readily available. A purchasing department usually can generate basic information relating to its suppliers, such as number and dollar value of purchases, the ordering departments purchasing from each supplier, the number of competitors for the contracts awarded to each supplier, the number of contracts awarded by various methods of procurement (e.g. tender, closed request for quotation). In addition, there is a good deal of public information about suppliers that can reveal a great deal about an organization's overall approach to customer service. Critical questions include: Is the supplier ISO certified? What tra...
The purpose of this article is to review the complexities associated with real property asset management. The process begins with understanding the need and the owner's objectives, planning, moving through the acquisition phase, the operation and maintenance phase, the refurbishment and enhancement phase, and, finally, the disposition of the asset.

Asset management can be defined as the process of creating value within the owner's objectives through the acquisition, use and disposal of real property assets. Alternatively, asset management is defined as the practice of maximizing the value of a portfolio of properties, within the objectives of the owner. Th...

This paper presents a case study of the co-operative design, development, and implementation of an XBRL-enabled interorganizational system (IOS) by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the Reserve Bank of Australia (central bank), and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to revolutionize reporting by financial institutions in Australia. The findings illustrate that the complexity of data consumption patterns drove increased interdependence within the financial information supply chain requiring the co-operative development of context sensitive data exchanges and commodity-like IT infrastructures. The paper concludes that the co-operative model to IOS development exhibited here is likely to be more suited to the development of systems for financial information supply chains tha...

Reduced to its essence, LEED is a building certification process. It defines what is "green" by providing a common framework or language, and verifies actual performance through benchmarking and measurement. It is tied to five key areas: human and environmental health; sustainable site development; water savings; energy efficiency; materials selection; and indoor environmental quality. The LEED rating system has been designed to provide the building industry with consistent, credible standards for what constitutes a green building. The first step to LEED certification is to register a building project. To earn certification, a building project must meet certain prerequisites and performance benchmarks (credits) within each category. Projects are awarded certified, silver, gold, or plati...
