Juran Benchmarking Best Practices is a patented technique that enables our clients to seek and establish a competitive leadership position in a given area of their business. Benchmarking has become a strategic tool for continuous improvement in highly competitive markets. It reveals the weak spots in an organization and focuses attention on the right areas for improvement - the areas where one loses the battle in the marketplace. Juran Institute was founded on the research and years of documentation of Dr. Juran. The day the Institute opened its doors, we already had more than 50 years of documentation meticulously compiled by Dr. Juran. Our experience in quality is broader and has more depth than any other company. It is one of the reasons our training methods and materials are the most widely used in the world.
The Juran Benchmarking Best Practice service has enabled many top tier global companies to improve business performance for over ten years. Juran can bring together world-class organizations that produce both goods and services, and determine how their business practices compare to one another. We try to understand the means they use to become world-class. Most organizations using our benchmarking services systematically and continuously integrate the discovered knowledge into their own products and processes.
For example, in the Oil and Gas industry Juran’s proven benchmarking approach goes beyond numerical analysis and always includes a “learning” phase focused on the transfer of knowledge from best practices. Thanks to more than 10 years of close collaboration with representatives of the top-ten oil and gas suppliers, Juran Institute’s benchmarking methodology produces a comprehensive analysis, through a normalization process that accommodates the effects of size, capacity, and utilization. The Oil and Gas Industry Program embodies all facets of the value chain, including platforms, pipelines, processing and marine terminals, fuel storage terminals, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
