Community of Practice

Sponsored jointly by AME (www.ame.org) and APQC (www.apqc.org), these two learning organizations provide the guidance and resources needed to start this CoP, as well as a core group of founding members. The AME/APQC Benchmarking CoP will continue to be governed by an expanded steering committee:

• Bill Baker, AME
• Glenn Marshall, Newport News Shipbuilding
• Mark Palla, Raytheon Company
• Dr. Paulette DeGard, Boeing Commercial Airplane Supplier Management
• Ron Webb, APQC
• Susan Chandler, AME

The AME APQC Benchmarking CoP is an informal, organically grown CoP made up of individuals interested in benchmarking and related topics. This CoP provides you with:

• A vehicle to share ideas and learn from peers about benchmarking
• A close network of peers to help in benchmarking initiatives
• An ability to further the thinking and concepts of benchmarking
• A code of conduct for sharing and protecting information
