Benchmarking and comparison of key performance indicators

 

​Continual improvement process – whoever ceases to improve will no longer be good (www.roedl-benchmarking.de)

Water supply companies have the challenge of simultaneously meeting the requirements for security of supply, quality of supply, sustainability, economic efficiency and customer service. Regular comparisons of key performance indicators enable the identification of areas with potential for improvement in performance, the introduction of appropriate measures and checking of the attainment of goals.

Rödl & Partner addresses these issues for you and assists you with the continual improvement process.
 
Our services for you:
  • Benchmarking projects (basic module, in-depth module)

Statistical efficiency analysis

 

​Efficiency analysis – use statistics to improve the result

The verification of an efficient performance is in the interest of all responsible persons in the water management industry. A comparison of key performance indicators determines a comparative position and first indications for areas with potential for improvement. There are often limitations, however, to the use of key performance indicators to assess the structural conditions under which the respective supplier has to provide his service. In individual cases statistical methods are better able to take into account the effects of major factors of influence such as topography or the settlement structure in the comparison of companies. The careful application of these methods as a supplement to further measures to assess the service provision can in individual cases prove worthwhile. This is a topic for us to discuss.
 
Rödl & Partner determines your statistical efficiency potential and in consultation with you identifies opportunities and risks of these methods.
 
Our services for you:
  • Efficiency measurement with recognised, statistical processes such as the methods of ordinary least squares, data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis
  • Consideration of individual special points which influence the recorded efficiency value
  • Elaboration of solution approaches to improve efficiency on the basis of the results of the  analysis

 

In-depth key performance indicator analysis

 

​Go one step further than usual

Benchmarking and key performance indicator comparisons are the first steps of a continual improvement process. They measure the current situation and the development in your company. The entrepreneurial added value is created in the second step – how the results are actively treated. Using benchmarking projects, the first indications for areas for improvement are determined with the aid of selected key performance indicators. The resulting anomalies are then subject to more in depth analysis.
 
Rödl & Partner supports you here and uses the results to elaborate specific solutions for the continual improvement of the services provided by your company.
 
Our services for you:
  • In-depth analysis of selected company areas using agreed key performance indicators
  • Comparison of key performance indicators
  • Identification of possible causes of key performance indicator deviations
  • Elaboration of solution approaches on the basis of the key performance indicator assessments including evaluation of general feasibility and possible schedule

Analysis of the market and competition

 

​Take a look into the future

The supply of water and disposal of waste water may well represent a natural monopoly, but these companies are also subject to the concept that stagnation is the same thing as a step backwards. In recent years larger suppliers have in particular started to develop further mainstays, for example, through the takeover of operations management. A well-founded analysis of the market and competition is required in order to realistically assess the costs and benefits of such projects.
 

Rödl & Partner is able to determine the relevant market, its potential, which companies already offer comparable services and any barriers which may restrict access to the market.

  • Analysis of market potential and market development
  • Analysis of the competition
  • Market structure analysis
  • Product range analysis
