Le Conseil fédéral a approuvé un rapport d'experts sur l'exploitation des routes nationales. Les auteurs [...] proposent d'intégrer le principe dit du «benchmarking» (évaluation des performances) dans les centres d'entretien des routes nationales. [...] Cette nouvelle technique permet de comparer les dépenses de tous les centres d'entretien pour chaque activité, à l'aide d'indices spécifiques à chaque tronçon. Les experts pensent que ces chiffres, qui seront communiqués à tous les centres d'entretien, pousseront ces derniers à augmenter leur rendement. 4, record 2, French, - centre%20d%27entretien
