Benchmarking purpose

Motorola has been highly successful in its quality control endeavors. Several of my safety colleagues have said that their companies visited Motorola for benchmarking purposes. Often, they say that it would take several years for their companies to achieve a quality culture that matches what exists there. 

In future work, some classic scheduling examples from the literature are to be used for benchmarking purposes. 

The methods of coupled clusters with single- and double-excitation terms (CCSD), CCSD with noniterative triples [CCSD(T)], and the closely related approximate method of quadratic Cl (QCISD) and QCISD with noniterative triples [QCISD(T)] have been used to study a few hydrogen-bonded complexes. These methods are size-consistent, infinite-order methods, and as such are deemed to be most reliable. Unfortunately, CCSD(T) is computationally the most expensive method, and is not feasible for routine use on larger systems. CCSD(T) is, however, the correlation method which should be used for benchmarking purposes in small complexes, and the method of choice for difficult cases. 

The indictors selected should be statistically valid on an industry, company, and site level and be appropriate for the industry, company, or site level for benchmarking purposes. 

To determine the optimal strain rate, typical strain rates in molded PC/ABS housings, which are in the order of 0.25-0.75% were considered. Hence, for benchmarking purposes, all tests were carried out at 23 KC with a 0.5% strain rate.
