Bob and Susan are business analysts for their organization. They are examining two materials that could be used in an upcoming project. They are testing the materials and measuring the results of each test to compare the materials to each other. This process will help Bob and Susan determine which material is best for their upcoming project.
What type of process are Bob and Susan completing with these materials?
Bob and Susan are comparing two materials to determine which one is best for their upcoming project. This process involves measuring the results of each test and comparing them to each other. Such a process is known as benchmarking, where comparisons are made between different items to evaluate which one performs better based on certain criteria.
I don't understand, how this is Benchmarking. It looks like feasibility study to me: An evaluation of proposed alternatives to determine if they are technically, organizationally, and economically possible within the constraints of the enterprise, and whether they will deliver the desired benefits to the enterprise.
This is rather about a comparison of the two materials and determining which one is best. Benchmarking is a comparison.
Benchmarking is essentially a comparison against an established standards or best in the class. as none of the other options are closer, Benchmarking is the nearest to the correct answer.
Benchmarcking is correct. Both are comparison tools but in this case they are comparing materials side by side.
A. Comparing alternatives. Not standards
