Benchmarking and Goal-Driven Approach for Developers for 4.0 Industrial-level Applications inside Siemens

Abstract

Benchmarking, a crucial technique in the context of Siemens’ industrial applications, is widely recognized for identifying and enhancing key skills. This work presents a goal-driven approach to requirement interpretation, explicitly focusing on the role of benchmarking within the company. It explores the benchmarking methodology, the process of developing new industrial applications through benchmarking, and the essential steps involved. The findings indicate that benchmarking can be a fundamental learning tool for skill development and optimization, ultimately contributing to long-term competitive advantage. The study examines various aspects of Siemens’ operations and proposes an alternative framework for categorizing benchmarking activities. The methodology outlined in this research is designed to support specialists, academicians, and professionals in assessing the evolution and relevance of benchmarking as a strategic tool, given Siemens’ prominent role in industrial development. The proposed benchmarking methodology offers several remunerations, such as improved user engagement and creating more effective and aesthetically appealing interfaces. Despite its significance, existing literature provides limited insights into integrating benchmarking techniques into industrial applications development strategies. This study introduces a methodology particularly beneficial for front-end developers, enabling them to implement visually engaging and interactive elements within industrial-level applications. By enhancing user engagement, the proposed approach supports the creation of more effective and aesthetically appealing interfaces. While the study provides a descriptive analysis of benchmarking techniques, further refinement is needed in the current target selection and computation methods. Future research should focus on sharpening these aspects to enhance the practical application of benchmarking in industrial web development.
