The Procurement And
Supply-chain Benchmarking Association (PASBA™) is currently
a free association of procurement and supply chain organizations
within major corporations. PASBA™ conducts benchmarking
studies to identify practices that improve the overall operations
of the members.
PASBA™ Mission
To identify "Best in
Class" procurement and supply chain business processes, which,
when implemented, will lead member companies to exceptional performance.
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is a performance
measurement tool used in conjunction with improvement initiatives;
it measures comparative operating performance of companies and identifies
the "best practices."
Benchmarking creates value
by
- Focusing on key performance
gaps;
- Identifying ideas from
other companies;
- Creating a consensus to
move an organization forward;
- Making better decisions
from a larger base of facts.
Annual
Networking Roundtable
PASBA™ is
hosting their annual meetings. The meeting is an opportunity
to meet other professionals in the same functional area and discuss
current issues.

studies of important procurement and supply chain processes.
