Accurate, granular measurement is a key to maximizing the value of any benchmarking effort. Acorn customers can compare process metrics, unit costs, efficiency/effectiveness against external benchmarking standards like APQC's Open Standards Benchmarking Collaborative (OSBC). Virtually all of our customers benefit from the value of 'internal benchmarking' – comparing best practice facilities against peers, understanding what is being performed differently at a process level, and then applying the optimal approach throughout the organization.
