For eight of the past ten calendar years, MSBO has published this facilities benchmarking report for use by business and facilities managers to compare their costs and practices to the universe of school districts in Michigan. This year’s report also includes comparison data from each of the previous reports illustrating effects of changes made over time.
Benchmarking is a process used by many organizations to evaluate their performance by comparing themselves within their industry in a number of categories. Using benchmarking data, internal goals and objectives are set to match the best results in each category. As each segment of the organization is benchmarked, progress toward those goals is measured and the entire organization benefits.
