| You may be a
regulator, utility, government agency, service industry association, or individual business. Whatever your perspective, you have an interest in gaining a
reliable assessment of the comparative performance of one or more organisations within a particular industry.
You may need answers to these sorts of questions:
What are the key outputs the business produces and the
outcomes it aims to achieve?
What has been the business' recent productivity performance? How far is the business from industry best practice?
What productivity improvements should the business be able to achieve given the performance of similar businesses?
How should the business' performance be adjusted to allow for factors beyond management control to ensure like with like
comparisons?
Has the business' rate of return on capital been appropriate?
Are proposed X factors in CPI X regulation sensible given past and expected feasible productivity gains?
Have reliability standards been satisfactory?
