Abstract: More recent survey-based studies have indicated that, although many companies are involved in benchmarking, adoption of best practices is not as high as might be expected.

Ugan (2004Ugan ( e 2005 conceitua que o desenvolvimento de melhores práticas é uma abordagem que provê um significante melhoramento em fatores mensuráveis como custo, qualidade e velocidade, ressaltando que melhores práticas são aquelas que atingem resultados desejados. Porém, o autor trata a sua definição como um termo relativo (subjetivo), ao contrário de ser uma padronização absoluta; e afirma que não há melhores práticas notáveis, uma vez que melhores práticas para uma companhia podem não ser melhores para outras.…”
