Warwickshire Ambulance Service (WAS) is an NHS Trust. It operates throughout Warwickshire and the neighbouring areas. It has three core areas of activity, namely the provision of Emergency Ambulance Services, routine Patient Transport Services, and Logistic Medical Services. The agency is working towards higher service level through benchmarking. Which of the following is the benefit of benchmarking to WAS?
Benchmarking is 'the pursuit by organisations of enhanced performance by learning from the suc-cessful practices of others. Benchmarking is a continuous activity; key internal processes are adjusted, performance is monitored, new comparisons are made with the current best performers and further changes are explored. Where information about these key processes is obtained through a co-operative partnership with specific organisations (rather than via a third party such as an independently-maintained database), there is an expectation of mutual benefit over a period of time.

Which of the following can directly affect labour variance? Select TWO that apply:
Labour variance refers to a situation in which actual costs of labor differ from projected or budgeted labor costs. This concept is most commonly applied in manufacturing environments.
Labour variance either results from efficiency or rate discrepancies. Efficiency variance results when actual time worked is more or less than budgeted time for a project. Rate variance means you paid more per hour worked than expected. This may occur with overtime pay or when you have higher paid employees on a project than projected. Labour variance is fairly typical, but modest variance is usually not a big factor in manufacturing, because materials and other production costs are often much higher.
