tool. It is……
an organized process for gathering information to
determine how well programs and activities are
meeting established needs and goals.
3. What are Performance Measures?
Performance measures let us know:
• how well we are doing
• if we are meeting our goals
• if our customers are satisfied
• if our processes are in statistical control
• if and where improvements are necessary.
4. Types of Performance Measures
Performance measures are divided into five
types.
Process Output
Measures Measures
Input
Measures Impact
Measures
Outcome
Measures
5. Need For Performance Measurement
• To ensure customer requirements have been met
• To be able to set sensible objectives and comply with
them
• To provide standards for establishing comparisons
• To provide visibility and a “scoreboard” for people to
monitor their own performance level

priority attention
• To provide feedback for driving the improvement
effort

10. What Performance Measures Won’t Tell
You
• The Cause and Effect of Outcomes Are Not Easily
Established.
• Poor Results Do Not Necessarily Point to Poor
Execution.

Processes.
• Measurements Only Approximate the Actual
System.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
11. To summarize a performance measurement
The use of performance measures in business is hardly
new. Companies have been measuring
costs, quality, quantity, cycle
time, efficiency, productivity, etc., of
products, services, and processes. What is new to
some extent is having those who do the work
determine some of what should be measured in order
that they might better control, understand, and
improve what they do. All high-performance
organizations, whether public or private, are, and must
be, interested in developing and deploying effective
performance measurement so that they can remain
high performance organizations.
