...Selecting KPIs Selecting the right metric is an art more than a science (Eckerson, 2005). The essential objective in selecting KPIs is to identify the measure that best communicates the meaning of a strategy (Kaplan & Norton, 1996). Each KPI measures the achievement of a certain strategic objective; and therefore managers should (1) understand very well the strategic objective and (2) select the KPI carefully to translate the achievement of this particular strategic objective. If managers do not understand the strategy or fail to select the right measure, management of the company may be misled by not measuring what needs to be measured. As Kaplan and Norton (1996) indicated, the art of defining the KPIs rests in the performance drivers (leading indicators) that enable the outcome KPIs (lagging indicators) to be achieved. Leading indicators are useful to have as they give the time to influence the outcomes KPI (Eckerson, 2005). There is a third type of KPI that can be selected which is the diagnostic indicator. The diagnostic indicators are not leading or lagging indicators; they measure the health of the operations just like measuring the human temperature that should always be under a certain level. While selecting the leading indicators for a certain outcome KPI, managers should do a brainstorm session to understand what drives the performance of this specific outcome KPI (lagging indicator). Good mix of KPIs should be (1) linked and aligned with strategic objectives...

..."business process management" based on this video and text reading? How would you compare it to business process re-engineering, continuous improvement, and total quality management approaches? Business Process Management (BPM) is defined as an approach for a business that tries to continuously improve their business processes. It is related to total quality management which is used to improve the quality of business processes by lowering the error and rejection rates, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing any of the business related costs. In this case though, business process management is a bit broader and is concerned with quality. But by expanding beyond this does include efficiency and cost benefits to the firm, which gives the managers the ability to measure and control business processes. 2. What are the major objectives of BPM? There are a few major objectives of BPM and they are: To complete and have a timely measure of process effectiveness. Have a better measurement of a process in terms of resources used. To take more time to make a decision. Have a greater management understanding and control of business processes. Possess a greater flexibility due to the ability to change the process as conditions warrant. Have the ability to adapt to changing business conditions. 3. What is the significance of a "service oriented architecture?" What difference does this make for implementation, cost, and flexibility of the BPM tools? A Service oriented architecture...

...Levels of Strategies-Vehicles to Success BUSI600 Liberty University Abstract A corporation’s success is as intrinsically linked to the products or services it takes to market as to the strategies utilized in the normal course of its business. It is not enough to have a great product or to have the ability of providing an unparalleled service in order to achieve success. A strategy or group of interrelated strategies to develop, sustain and deliver these products and services must be constantly developed and implemented. But: * How many levels of strategy are needed? * Who implements them? * When should they be implemented? * Where would they be most impactful or relevant? * How are they evaluated and revised? * When should they be abandoned for another? It could be argued that the simpler the product, the simpler the business strategies needed in order to achieve success. This assumption and its corollary, that advanced products need complex business strategies, can be proven flawed today as it has been observed in the past. Whether a corporation is providing a simple product or complex service, the strategies they implement should constantly evolve, in response or in anticipation to ever shifting market demand conditions, not just the product’s intrinsic complexity. The right strategy or group of strategies is a corporation’s best vehicle to success. Vehicles to Success Since most technology [corporations’] revenues come primarily from...

...indicators (KPIs) are used to measure the progress of a business reaching their goals. The success of the business and its activities should be measured to identify problems or possible improvements. I have identified a number of KPIs specific to departments in the supply chain as well as the supply chain as a whole. KPIs which can be introduced across the sales department are: • Lost sales to keep a record of which customer orders are not fulfilled. • Turnover generated by each product in order to make comparisons between the different adhesive and grout types. • Sales target in order to have a goal to work towards. • Sales growth measurement, which is important to determine if the product sales are increasing to be able to supply the growing demand. KPIs which can be introduced across the marketing department are: • Return on investment in order to determine the revenue that a marketing campaign is making in comparison with the costs to run that campaign. • Incremental sales which demonstrate the effect that the marketing campaign has on increasing sales. KPIs which can be introduced across the procurement department are: • Deliveries which compares the actual delivery date to the promised delivery date of raw materials. Delivery accuracy can then be measured. • Lead times, which should be monitored to determine delivery dates of raw materials. • Total cost savings, which measures the amount of money saved on an order by purchasing the material. A KPI which...
