Organization Benchmarking

While you can also find this word in reference to the original meaning in the Anglo-Saxon language, it is in the computer field where its use is more widespread. More formally you can understand that a benchmark is the result of the execution of a computer program or a set of programs on a machine, with the aim of estimating the performance of a particular item or all the same, and to compare the results with similar machines. However we will stop at the end of Benchmarking, Michael Spendolini in his book entitled Benchmarking which defines it as: A systematic and continuous process to assess products, services and work processes of organizations that are recognized as representatives of best practices, in order to make organizational improvements that process, can result in significant benefits for the Organization, since allows: w satisfy consumer needs in a more efficient way. w Increase the level of competitiveness. w define the objectives and strategies according to the actual conditions of the environment. w increases the participation of workers, through the generation of ideas to be applied in different processes and activities within the company.

Since the Benchmarking applications are infinite, it is necessary that organizations establish guidelines to determine that function or processes will be explored as part of the programmes to be developed by them. That is why, the most important stages can be summarized in the following points: firstly, should plan. Division managers should start by choosing which wish to improve processes (for example, the system of distribution), select the company that most stands out in that (distribution) and decide how they will measure the differences between the two processes. Then comes the making, stage in which the process of others is measured and then own (adaptation). The following is the stage of comparison, in the example of the two systems of distribution, looking for details on which is is more efficient.

Chinese Taxes

The artist and Chinese dissident, arrested on 3 April without an official order, refund of all taxes that have allegedly evaded. The designer of the Olympic Stadium in Beijing has been released by his good attitude and chronic disease suffering, according to police sources. The dissident and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has been released on bail due to his good attitude and after confessing their crimes, once the past April 3 was arrested without an official order, as reported Wednesday by local police in a statement released by the official Xinhua Agency. The brief message ensures that another reason to release to the designer of the Olympic Stadium in Beijing has been the chronic disease that suffers, not to mention diabetes and high tension afflicting the 53-year-old artist, and which will return all the tax money that has allegedly evaded. However, the older sister of Weiwei, Gao Ge, said in a telephone conversation that the family It has not yet official news of his release nor has been able to communicate with him. The arrest sparked condemnations from Western Governments as the EE UU, France, Germany, Taiwan, Australia or Japan, as well as the European Union, organizations of human rights and the arts sector and museum world, since it occurred in the midst of one of the most repressive campaigns of the Chinese regime in decades. Although Beijing said that the dissident was being investigated for an alleged economic crime, family, the States and institutions that have requested his release considered that the detention of the artist was due to his outspoken opposition to the Chinese regime and its human rights dnsa.

However, the police statement asserts that Ai has confessed his crimes and has reiterated that he is willing to pay the taxes evaded, and that does not have an official figure so far. Destruction of accounting documents according to the police statement, the company owned by Weiwei supposedly investigated, call The Beijing Fake Cultural Development, would have escaped a lot of taxes and intentionally destroyed the accounting documents. The family of the artist has not received any official news of his release, unaware of his current whereabouts and still not has failed to speak with Ai, noted the stepsister. One of multiple Internet platforms that support the artist and have been informed of the details of his arrest, called Ai Weiwei Never Sorry, points out that of intellectual, Gao Ying, mother will not comment about his alleged confession of tax evasion until not to talk with him and check their State of health. The official note not reported neither the situation nor the whereabouts of four others who were arrested along with the artist, and who are his cousin and driver, her accountant, one of the designers of its study and a journalist friend of dissident.

Uceda Bridge

We lost several years and when enrumbe to the parish where it would happen my stage of apostolate, in that way we were and we were clear. We had already passed a stage of our life; you had stopped driving trucks, since you had sacrificarte so that the rest of your brothers could be educated. But you wanted to make reality which in the scholastic classrooms you thought with the adolescent young people that they watched with enthusiasms the readings of Maria’tegui or the stories of the professor of political economy with respect to the legendary social fighter Luis Of the Uceda Bridge. Our minds were absortas when listening the stories of the professor and we saw ourselves already crossing our nations to make of justice our flag. Me invitastes the food and we decided to do what our young minds planned in that stage.

We went first a to create schools where to work free of charge and we did thus it. Crossing the territories of the migrant ones that were posesionaron of territories of the bracamoros. There in the heat of high forest, with the forests we began to work without requesting a sun to the old state; but that if we asked for its recognition. But like nonramos of the rows of the government, later they did not choose us to continue teaching to those children who were born in new earth. We always discussed our ideas, more frankly without displeasing us by our discrepancies. Only the understanding of the ideas of the friend. There we chose a different way, but I included/understood to you; so that you already had yourself enamored with a mestiza, having already your small piston rods. Perhaps your companion would not have understood the decision that you had taken when following what I did. She does not bother to me. But it was the first goodbye to a so close friend.
