Benchmarking is a management technique for measuring the performance or work, by comparing it with the parameters or the size of the best known in the market and is usually indicated by the market leader companies. The point is to improve the performance of the company so close to even surpass the best performance of the company. Done is to compare themselves, and thus is expected to replace his role as the market leader. Because of that role, benchmarking becomes an effective tool in the context of total quality management.

Paul Spenley, a benchmarking expert, author of the book, Riding the Revolution (Harper-Collins, 2001) with Robert Heller, said there are five levels of benchmark:

Strategic benchmarking, utilized to drive continuous improvement (continuous improvement) and sharpen the overall corporate strategy
Competitive benchmarking, used to match and exceed the direct competitor
Customer benchmarking, understanding the consumers and customers to the company compared to its peers
Financial benchmarking, are used to measure the return on investment (return on investment) compared with similar companies
Best practice benchmarking, to measure the output with the time and cost compared to its peers.

Benchmarking is not a method that is used occasionally, or just once over the life of the company, but rather an ongoing process and periodically, depending on need and urgency, at least once a year, when entering a new budget.

Many managers who are experts in preparing business (annual) plan but forgetting an important process of benchmarking, so that the business plan have not been accommodated. It is no exaggeration to form a team in order to create an oriented benchmarking includes key positions of each department or division concerned; enough team to master the necessary information and has a sharp analytical power.

Benchmarking will force companies to continuously improve themselves and at one time by streamlining several business factors or drivers to be the best, without feeling the company will progress rapidly and competitive superior compared to its competitors.

Benchmarking is action-oriented, not just analysis and theory or hypothesis. Therefore, the degree of accuracy, sharpness in analyzing, and ability to perform the selection of factors or the business drivers that influence is important, and after repairs have to walk. For this reason, very necessary commitment and support of top management and the seniors.

Personal Investments 2012. Although the economy is predicted to slowly strengthen, but it seems in terms of personal investment you need to remain cautious. The following are noteworthy in personal investment in 2012:

1. Investment in property. If the bank lowers interest rates, it can be said that the investment property has a great opportunity and good in 2012. In fact, this property is estimated that the business will go up even higher.

2. Investment in precious metals is not very profitable. If the conditions of the Middle East heats up, then world oil prices will rise in line with rising world gold prices. If this condition is reversed course in which the dollar strengthened and the crisis in the Middle East and re-heated, then this precious metal investment will be excellent. Precious metals can be selected, among others, in the form of jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings or gold bullion.

3. Equity investments. If you are interested to invest in a variety of things a bit challenging, it would not hurt to invest in stocks. If the investment grade increased, the flow of foreign funds will go even more and one of them entered the stock exchange.

4. Short-term investments. For short-term investments should still use banking products and precious metals.

Beware on some kind of insurance or unit-linked investments that will mature in 2012. If investment returns were not satisfactory, after deductions and other expenses, can lead to disappointment and even complain. Then you should be careful with your insurance options.

Currently, digital camcorder because of its convenient, easy to use features, are increasingly being used in our border investigation and evidence collection, Media coverage and other work. Regardless of the digital photo framing, composition, light and other factors, the first thing to ensure that the picture resolution, which is the most basic requirements to meet the daily needs. I work with several years of practical experience, talk about how to obtain high-resolution digital Photos.

Firstly, the use of high-pixel digital camera, to capture high-resolution photos, choose a high-pixel digital camera is very important, but not the pixels, the higher the better, but also the root. It uses pictures to decide. Available online or send Email, need 400000-800000 pixels; 5 × 7-inch enlargements, 2.1 million pixels will enough. If it is enlarged to 8 × 10 inches or more, it would need 3.1 million pixel digital camcorders. Need to enlarge the size of the larger number of requests. The higher pixel values of digital cameras need. However, one should note that the rule is that the same pixel values in digital camera, the image sensor area larger digital camcorder image quality better, with clearer photographs.

Then, the use of high-resolution mode, needless to say, in a digital camera, first set the resolution to note the problem. Of course, the higher the resolution setting, shot out of the picture is the better. However, there is no need to set the resolution too high, also according to need. High-resolution image, large amount of data files, not only takes up a lot of storage space. But also read, storage, transmission, processing speed will be very slow. It’s a waste of time. Resolution, the total pixel value is shooting the choice. Resolution digital camcorders are generally divided into high, medium and low grades. We take an example for Nikon D100. Nikon D100 for the 6-megapixel digital camera, its resolution is divided into three kinds of English are Large, Medium and Small. It referred to as L, M and S. Three kinds of resolution of the actual number of pixels are following, Large: 3008 × 2000, the actual pixels of 600 million. Medium: 2240 × 1488, 3.3 million effective pixels. Small: 1504 × 1000, 1.5 million effective pixels.

Digital camcorder at the factory have been carried out image resolution and compression mode settings, the Nikon D100 is factory set to Large, the 3008 × 2000 = 600 million pixels. Generally enlarged to 8 × 10 inches below the photo, use the format of 1504 × 1000 Small can actually like factors of 1.5 million; enlarged to 8 × 10 inches to 14 × 20 inches, you need to Medium format 2240 × 1488, 3.3 million actual pixels; if to zoom in to 20 × 24 inches or more, you need Large format 3008 × 2000, the actual pixels of 600 million.

You must provide enough funds for your business in order to remain able to operate in tough times.

3. Not considering the worst possible
Young people often think that their great potential and can not fail. However, anyone can fail, and you need to make a plan after predicting the worst.

Here are basic things that cause the occurrence of errors in managing finances:

1. Feeling not have time to manage it
Many of us who often complain about not having time. Of course, you actually have the time: you just do not give priority to schedule financial management. When coming home from your office already feel so tired, try to schedule a money management is on Saturday morning. From paying the bills, noting the various expenses for a week, or learn the investment programs offered by the bank. Always remember, the more you delay this work, the harder you make a habit of keeping your finances.

2. Not doing financial planning
Said the financial plan, or a checkbook, often make people quit. One way to track where your money goes, by using an envelope for a week or a month, like when you get a weekly allowance from your parents. It’s up to how you use the money, whether to buy credits, lunch at the office or outside the office, or just for transportation. Then, prepare well for snacks on the outer envelope of these requirements, such as buying coffee, snacks, magazines, or whatever. Condition, limit your spending as much money contained in the envelope. Do not add money into the envelope, as if the envelope is a phone that pulse to be recharged.

3. -Too much or too little-debt
Debt will not destroy your life if you can use it for your next life. With debt, you can go back to school, which then can buy your rental apartment, and even can provide venture capital for you. Fear of debt can sometimes make you lose the opportunity, but too much debt, especially if the debt exceeds your ability to pay the mortgage, could lead to chaos in your financial condition.

4. Depending on the insurance
Glad you had bought a life insurance product since 10 years ago, which still must you pay premiums for 20 years. You do not want to buy an insurance product or other investment, because it feels your responsibility to provide a form of security to your life has been done. Unfortunately, you forgot to take into consideration, inflation may cause the payment of insurance benefits next 20 years might not be too large value. Especially if you choose insurance products to the value of the lowest premiums.
