Increasing competition, ever-changing customer needs, and rapid technological advances exert a tremendous amount of pressure on the food processing companies to stay competitive. These companies also have to deal with a growing variety of products, short delivery times, high service level, increased focus on quality, and competitive cost. To compete in the global world, these companies need to learn continuously and use appropriate business improvement tools such as benchmarking, to improve their operation.

A benchmarking study of two food-processing companies has been carried out to identify a number of improvement opportunities for both the companies.
