Benchmarking adequacy

Referencing sectoral or other benchmarks to allow judgments to be made about the adequacy of the performance reported ... 

Benchmark testing of critical eiqieriments often employs simplified calculations for reasons of economy and convenience. The usefulness of the results are then dependent on previously calculated corrections or on the assumption that the parameters being calculated are insensitive to the approximations being used. The purpose of this work is to provide detailed benchmark calculations for testing ENDF/B Version-111 data as well as to examine the adequacy of the simplified calculational methods. 

Adequacy of the group structure and validl of selected data sets from the library were tested by PsS XSDRNPM calculations of k-eff for two benchmark... 

Over time, ZIO will become the benchmark against which the adequacy of occupational safety and health management systems will be measured. Societal expectations of employers with respect to their safety and health management systems will be defined by the standard s provisions. 

Adequacy of benefit level. Benchmarks will vary by program for example, social pensions could be compared with the poverty line, unemployment assistance with average wages and the poverty line, social assistance with the poverty line, wages for public works jobs with the market wage for similar work, and the like. 

The main issue concerning the benefit level is to determine the adequacy of the transfer in helping program beneficiaries fulfill their basic needs. Several benchmarks can be used to measure the adequacy of benefits depending on the type of transfer and its objectives. The amount of cash or the value of an in-kind transfer could be compared with the income gap between the beneficiary s income level and the poverty line. Similarly, a feeding intervention may assess the nutritional supplement it provides against the nutritional deficit... 

Operating plant experience benchmarks the adequacy of RPVt design and conservatism relative to operating conditions. The following observations of service performance of RPVIs important to safety are relevant to age related degradation. Age related degradation is the reduction in functional capability of a component as the result of phenomena that occur after a period of service and which may increase with time. 

Validation by Benchmarks - benchmark requirements identification, similar code comparison, exact solution comparison, industry benchmark comparison, comparisons documentation, and benchmark documentation adequacy...
