memposisikan


Explanation:
to benchmark = memposisikan (followed by the object)
While 'benchmarking' can be translated as 'memposisikan diri' applicable for subject: company, self, etc. or 'memposisikan (something)' to emphasise something that is more specific.

benchmarking in Indonesian will be 'men-sejajar-kan'


Explanation:
to benchmark will be 'men-sejajar-kan' in Indonesian.
Sejajar means paralel, comparable, of the same level.

Mensejajarkan could mean 'put something in the same/competitive level', or 'measure against'.

benchmark - v. membandingkan; n. tolok ukur.


Explanation:
"Benchmark" can be verb or noun.

As verb, benchmark means "membandingkan", because it is commonly used to compare one thing to another which has similar manner(s) or condition(s).

For example: Sentence "I benchmarked my computer to Andy's computer". ("Saya membandingkan antara komputer milik saya dengan milik Andy.)

Here we compare between computer and computer (no matter the form of the computers).
It is not possible to compare, for example, between computer and human.

As noun, benchmark means "tolok ukur", in that something which is used as benchmark will be compared to other thing which has similar manner(s) or condition(s).

For example, "The graphic benchmark for my computer is 100." (Tolok ukur grafis komputer saya adalah 100.)

This means that "my computer" performs 100 when being tested with specific devices. When someone compares his/her computer to mine, she will benchmark it to mine.

  -> To enrich Indonesian vocabulary, someone should propose an acceptable word for 'benchmarking.' I would prefer to use 'tolok ukur' for that word. Those who disagreed with this proposal should be able to do more than saying so.

menyetarakan


Explanation:
considering the whole context (is to benchmark) it will be best to use menyetarakan
menyetarakan comes from the word setara, and the above it has a meaning to compare with other and make it paralel(of one level).

benchmark


Explanation:
The term/istilah 'benchmark' has been adopted generally, as a Google search will attest. Other terms such as 'patokan' and 'tolok ukur' are semantically correct but not idiomatic. I would use 'benchmark' if I were the translator. (One of the many websites where 'benchmark' appears in a bahasa Indonesia context is displayed below.)
