Abstract
This paper aims at presenting a new flexible benchmarking model in civil construction. It describes an explanatory case study whereby data are collected through an internet benchmarking system with multi-criteria performance. This case study was based on the Production Arrangements Monitoring and Benchmarking System (SIMAP), the authors describe a flexible benchmarking model considering 46 criteria classified into 7 subsystems. The proposed benchmarking system can be used by companies from other countries with proper adaptations.
Key words: multi-criteria performance, civil construction supply chain, decision analysis

Resumen
Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un modelo nuevo de benchmarking flexible en la construcción civil. Describe un estudio de caso explicativo en el que se recopilan los datos por el internet a través de un sistema de benchmarking con un rendimiento de criterios múltiples, basado en el Sistema de Monitoreo y Benchmarking de Arreglos de Producción (SIMAP) considerando 46 criterios clasificados en 7 subsistemas. Este procedimiento puede ser utilizado por empresas de otros países con las adaptaciones adecuadas.
Palabras clave: Desempeño de criterios múltiples, cadena de suministro de construcción civil, análisis de decisiones
