Xerox Corporation,
00:00:04
a leader in the manufacturing and sales of photocopiers,
00:00:07
faced fierce competition from Japanese companies.
00:00:11
These competitors were offering similar products at significantly lower prices
00:00:16
and had also begun to surpass Xerox in terms of quality.
00:00:20
It was in this challenging context that
00:00:22
Xerox decided to embrace the strategy of benchmarking
00:00:26
to improve operations and production processes and
00:00:29
regain its position as a market leader.
00:00:32
Benchmarking is a process where a company measures
00:00:34
its performance and processes against those of industry leaders
00:00:38
to identify areas for improvement.
00:00:41
Xerox took the bold initiative to compare its operations
00:00:45
and processes with those of its Japanese competitors.
00:00:49
First,
00:00:49
they meticulously studied the products of their competitors
00:00:52
to understand how they were able to provide
00:00:55
high quality photocopiers at such competitive prices.
00:00:59
They discovered that the Japanese competitors used
00:01:02
more efficient and less costly manufacturing processes.
00:01:06
Secondly,
00:01:07
Xerox identified best practices in the industry and began to implement them.
00:01:11
For example,
00:01:12
they adopted total quality management techniques and reduced
00:01:16
the number of suppliers to minimize costs.
00:01:19
Thirdly,
00:01:20
they engaged their employees in the benchmarking process,
00:01:23
training them in new methods and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement.
00:01:28
This not only improved quality,
00:01:30
but also significantly reduced production costs.
00:01:33
The results of these benchmarking efforts were astounding.
00:01:37
Xerox was able to reduce its manufacturing costs by more than 40%,
00:01:42
improve the quality of its products,
00:01:44
and regain a large market share.
00:01:47
More importantly,
00:01:48
Xerox reestablished its reputation as an industry leader,
00:01:52
illustrating the power of benchmarking when applied methodically
00:01:55
and with the commitment of the entire organization.
