A Texas In-plant Roundup
In a second presentation, Fenton noted that benchmarking—measuring and comparing your performance with others—demonstrates your commitment to management by numbers and continuous process improvement, and it can prove your in-plant's competitiveness and value.
He advocated taking a proactive approach when organizations threaten the in-plant by asking management, "Why do you want to be in the printing business? It's not your core competency." Fenton said you should counter that by saying, "This is our core competency, and we have benchmarked our performance and can prove it."
