TEC|BENCH: Virtual benchmarkingVIRTUAL BENCHMARKING

Benchmarking – Definition“Benchmarking is the continuous process of measuring products, services and practices against the toughest competitors or those companies recognized as industry leaders (best in class)”

Xerox company Virtual product development – Definition“Using virtual prototypes, engineering teams can quickly analyse a multitude of design options. This approach results in better insights and decisions at the early development stages and helps to accelerate the development of products that perform as expected first time right“
