Performance Measurement and Strategic Information Management

  • If you don’t measure results, you can’t tell success from failure.
  • If you can’t see success, you can’t reward it – and if you can’t reward success, you are probably rewarding failure.
  • If you can’t recognize failure, you can’t correct it.
  • Individual: real-time information for feedback and process control.
  • Process: understand whether processes are accomplishing their objectives, whether they are using resources effectively, and where improvement might be necessary.
  • Organization: basis for strategic planning and design of products, services, and processes.
  • Good process measures should be “SMART”
  • Simple
  • Measurable
  • Actionable
  • Related (to customer requirements and to each other)
  • Timely
  • A unit of work is the output of a process or an individual process step. 
  • A measure of output quality is defects per unit (DPU) = Number of defects discovered/Number of units produced
  • Defects per million opportunities (dpmo) = (Number of defects discovered)/opportunities for error × 1,000,000
