Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPTBenchmarkings are systematic comparisons between companies or processes that show and document performance on the basis of clear key figures.
Fraunhofer IPT has been conducting benchmarking projects with companies for many years in order to identify strategic or organizational success factors and successful practices. The companies can participate in the selection of the object of investigation and the research questions as well as in the surveys to compare the performance.
By conducting such projects on numerous industrial issues, Fraunhofer IPT not only has extensive experience in conducting highly standardized benchmarking projects, but also a very comprehensive database on the best practices of various industries, company divisions and application fields of technologies.
In combination with technological knowledge from almost all areas of production, we then work with the consortium partners of our benchmarkings or in bilateral projects to develop individual solutions for their technology applications, new business models, organizational structures or strategic approaches for the further development of the company portfolio.
