Performance Measurement Systems

This package has been created as a practical guide to developing
 performance measurements in any industry. It has been divided into the
 following 6 sections:

       1. Introduction
       2. Measurement as a management support system
       3. What is a balanced scorecard?
       4. Developing a customized balanced scorecard
       5. Target setting and quantifying performance for incentive programs
       6. New performance management system and the performance
           improvement process
Performance Measurement Systems:
                      1.0 Introduction
There are 3 charts in this section

Chart 1.1:    This is a general introductory chart which has been tailored for
               measurements to demonstrate that a balanced scorecard is an integral
               part of business planning and strategy

Chart 1.2:    This chart emphasizes that strategy implementation must be top-down and
               a good measurement system is a powerful tool for achieving this. It also
               shows how a balanced scorecard decomposes as it permeates
               downwards from the top - making company objectives actionable at all
               levels

Chart 1.3:    An important chart which demonstrates that the balanced scorecard is a
               powerful approach for identifying areas of improvement and
               inadequacies in support processes. A balanced scorecard should be a
               prelude to a business re-design or a process re-engineering

2.0 Measurement as a management support system

 This section shows that measures provide the necessary information for management decision
  making and as such are a natural and inherent part of management process


 Chart 2.1:     Outline the Bindra continuous improvement cycle. This puts the
                 Deming/Shewhart cycle in more contemporary terms


 Chart 2.2      These charts demonstrate that a good performance measurement system
       - 2.4:    is an important information system for management. It is important to
                 measure total business operating systems (BOS) to avoid sub-
                 optimization

                 value drivers. These are labeled "Requirements"

3.1 A balanced scorecard provides a system for
   measuring focused performance, i.e., managing
             things that really matter


Focused performance may be defined as:

                 An approach for driving good trade-off decisions that balance
                 share-holder, employee and customer requirements
                 A flexible framework that makes company objectives actionable at
                 all levels of the organization
                 An approach for prioritizing improvement issues cross-functionally
                 An integrater of effort to capture the most significant opportunities




To focus improvement, business concepts like strategy, value adding processes and
 performance measures must be connected but remain flexible for custom design,
 focused performance is an approach that accomplishes this
3.2 It is important to create a balanced scorecard
   across all performance criteria to ensure desired
                 outcomes are achieved

3.3 Perhaps Lee Iacocca said in better words what
        we are trying to describe in model form


          By their very nature financial analysts tend to be defensive, conservative, and
          pessimistic. On the other side guys in sales and marketing are aggressive,
          speculative, and optimistic. They're saying let's do it, while the bean counters
          are cautioning why you shouldn't. If the bean counters are too weak, the
          company will spend itself into bankruptcy. But, if they are too strong the
          company would not meet the market or stay competitive. In a company you
          need both sides of the equation.

  This represents Step 1 of the General
  Measurement Methodology
4.3 We will conduct a workshop with the
     management team to develop first the global
                      measures

       The type of questions used to generate the list of measures include:
          – How will we know how well we are doing?
          – What measures and indicators should we monitor on a periodic basis to determine
            how well we are performing?
          – What should we measure to help us know if we are improving, or where we need to
            improve?
       The thinking process while developing this set of measures should not be constrained by
       feasibility issues. The focus should be on providing the executive team the information it
       needs

The output of this process will be a list of prioritized measures
4.4 First, generate a list of ranked measures that are
     linked to the strategic performance dimensions

4.7 A generic set of performance criteria for
    organizational systems is suggested here

                Operational Definitions of Performance Criteria

                                      Quality



     Upstream        Input        Transformation         Output    Downstream

                              Innovation       Effectiveness
                     Efficiency       Quality of
                                     Work Life

                                    Productivity


                                   Profitability/
                                   Budgetability



        While all seven criteria are relevant to all organizational systems,
       their relative importance varies as a functions of the type of system
Performance measurement system:
5.0 Target setting and quantifying performance for
                  incentive programs


Chart 5.1:   This chart describes the importance of rewards and incentives to a
              measurement system
Chart 5.2:   Target setting

Chart 5.3:   Shows data portrayal

Chart 5.4:   Depicts performance diagnosis format

Chart 5.5:   Indices of performance are developed in this chart. We have used the
               "Weighting Factor" approach. This approach is subjective and requires
               management concentration. But, then, the basic requirement of a good
               measurement system is management concentration and input. Besides,
               any algorithm developed for purposes of rewards and incentives tends to
               be subjective
5.1 Here are some roles rewards, incentives and
                  recognition play
        What gets rewarded gets measured

        Rewards and incentives systems help keep the focus on company goals and objectives
        e.g.,
           – Customer satisfaction
           – Improved quality


        When consistent with measures, rewards and incentives encourage everyone to excel
         – Individual
         – Work group
         – Business unit




  It is necessary to quantify performance before a rewards and incentives program can be
     implemented
5.2 In order to drive measurement from an
           improvement focus it is necessary to identify
                        improvement targets first

                               The process for identifying improvement targets is a subjective one. Our knowledge of the
                               business combined with the risks and uncertainties leads to preference curves of the type
                               shown

6.4 It is concluded that a good measurement system
     highlights the need for business redesign or
                 enterprise processes

      Processes (generally) are organizational activities that cut across functional lines, e.g., complaint
      handling
      Functions are intact organizational entities, e.g., business units, departments, etc.
      It is possible to define the system as the vertical dimension or as the horizontal dimension as shown in
      the figure

    Performance Measurement Systems Thispackage has been created as a practical guide to developing performance measurements in any industry. It has been divided into the following 6 sections: 1. Introduction 2. Measurement as a management support system 3. What is a balanced scorecard? 4. Developing a customized balanced scorecard 5. Target setting and quantifying performance for incentive programs 6. New performance management system and the performance improvement process

    Performance Measurement Systems: 1.0 Introduction There are 3 charts in this section Chart 1.1: This is a general introductory chart which has been tailored for measurements to demonstrate that a balanced scorecard is an integral part of business planning and strategy Chart 1.2: This chart emphasizes that strategy implementation must be top-down and a good measurement system is a powerful tool for achieving this. It also shows how a balanced scorecard decomposes as it permeates downwards from the top - making company objectives actionable at all levels Chart 1.3: An important chart which demonstrates that the balanced scorecard is a powerful approach for identifying areas of improvement and inadequacies in support processes. A balanced scorecard should be a prelude to a business re-design or a process re-engineering

    Performance Measurement Systems: 2.0Measurement as a management support system This section shows that measures provide the necessary information for management decision making and as such are a natural and inherent part of management process Chart 2.1: Outline the Bindra continuous improvement cycle. This puts the Deming/Shewhart cycle in more contemporary terms Chart 2.2 These charts demonstrate that a good performance measurement system - 2.4: is an important information system for management. It is important to measure total business operating systems (BOS) to avoid sub- optimization Chart 2.5: This is an example of an input/output exercise to determine the customer value drivers. These are labeled "Requirements"

    Performance Measurement Systems: 3.0 What is a balanced scorecard? Chart 3.1: Definition of the balanced scorecard in terms of focused performance Chart 3.2 Our version of the balanced scorecard & 3.3: Chart 3.4: Norton and Kaplan version of the balanced scorecard Chart 3.5: This chart demonstrates that Norton & Kaplan accommodate only 77% of 1992 Baldrige criteria. Our version, by creating a customizes balanced scorecard matches 100% with client requirements (See section 4)

    3.1 A balancedscorecard provides a system for measuring focused performance, i.e., managing things that really matter Focused performance may be defined as: An approach for driving good trade-off decisions that balance share-holder, employee and customer requirements A flexible framework that makes company objectives actionable at all levels of the organization An approach for prioritizing improvement issues cross-functionally An integrater of effort to capture the most significant opportunities To focus improvement, business concepts like strategy, value adding processes and performance measures must be connected but remain flexible for custom design, focused performance is an approach that accomplishes this

    3.3 Perhaps LeeIacocca said in better words what we are trying to describe in model form By their very nature financial analysts tend to be defensive, conservative, and pessimistic. On the other side guys in sales and marketing are aggressive, speculative, and optimistic. They're saying let's do it, while the bean counters are cautioning why you shouldn't. If the bean counters are too weak, the company will spend itself into bankruptcy. But, if they are too strong the company would not meet the market or stay competitive. In a company you need both sides of the equation. Lee Iacocca, Iacocca: An Autobiography

    3.4 Organizations shoulddevelop measures for their business units creating a balanced scorecard from which to measure continuous improvement Kaplan and Norton have surveyed several companies to create a model of a balanced scorecard Financial Perspective How do we look to shareholders? Internal Customer Perspective Business Perspective How do customers Balanced Scorecard What must we see us? excel at? Innovation and Learning Perspective Can we continue to improve and create value? *Kaplan, R.S. and Norton, D.P. (1992)

  • 21.
    4.3 We willconduct a workshop with the management team to develop first the global measures The type of questions used to generate the list of measures include: – How will we know how well we are doing? – What measures and indicators should we monitor on a periodic basis to determine how well we are performing? – What should we measure to help us know if we are improving, or where we need to improve? The thinking process while developing this set of measures should not be constrained by feasibility issues. The focus should be on providing the executive team the information it needs The output of this process will be a list of prioritized measures

    Performance measurement system: 5.0Target setting and quantifying performance for incentive programs Chart 5.1: This chart describes the importance of rewards and incentives to a measurement system Chart 5.2: Target setting Chart 5.3: Shows data portrayal Chart 5.4: Depicts performance diagnosis format Chart 5.5: Indices of performance are developed in this chart. We have used the "Weighting Factor" approach. This approach is subjective and requires management concentration. But, then, the basic requirement of a good measurement system is management concentration and input. Besides, any algorithm developed for purposes of rewards and incentives tends to be subjective
  • 27.
    5.1 Here aresome roles rewards, incentives and recognition play What gets rewarded gets measured Rewards and incentives systems help keep the focus on company goals and objectives e.g., – Customer satisfaction – Improved quality When consistent with measures, rewards and incentives encourage everyone to excel – Individual – Work group – Business unit It is necessary to quantify performance before a rewards and incentives program can be implemented
  • 28.
    5.2 In orderto drive measurement from an improvement focus it is necessary to identify improvement targets first The process for identifying improvement targets is a subjective one. Our knowledge of the business combined with the risks and uncertainties leads to preference curves of the type shown Linear S - Shaped Targets Targets 4Q95 4Q95 100 100 2Q95 Performance Level (%) 2Q95 4Q94 90 90 4Q94 2Q94 2Q94 80 80 1Q 2Q 3Q 1994 1Q 2Q 3Q 1995 1Q 2Q 3Q 1994 1Q 2Q 3Q 1995 Baseline Time Baseline Time
