Strategic Benchmarking
Continuous improvement in the hallmark of any Total Quality Management System and being able to measure that improvement is of equal importance. We have been collecting performance data for 25 years and create comprehensive, anonymized benchmark reports. Our data shows that TL 9000 continues to drive significant quality improvement in critical ICT product categories.
TIA QuEST Forum participants receive these monthly Performance Data Reports (PDRs), which are anonymous benchmarking reports for the over 160 different TL 9000 product categories. Each measurement trend chart shows the best-in-class, industry average, and worst-in-class performance.
Participants also have access to benchmarking data from the Sustainability Assessor and when available SCS 9001 certified organizations.
This data is invaluable for comparing your performance against competitors, and analyzing your suppliers’ quality in comparison to industry best-in-class, average and worst-in-class.
As SCS 9001 certifications reach a critical mass PDRs for SCS 9001 will also be available to TIA QuEST Forum members at no cost.
Benchmarking with Performance Data Reports (PDRs)
Derived from mandatory monthly statistics submitted by certified TL 9000 registrations and provided free to members, as well as offered for sale, PDRs are compiled for each TL 9000 measurement in all product categories, providing reliable trend data and robust industry benchmark information.
