PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS

 Performance of teams is measured via Balanced Scorecard. Balanced Scorecards allow companies to gauge their performance by assessing measures in four categories:

Note that on each parameter, a score between 0 and 100 is generated. This is not the same as the KPI value. For e.g. a score of 0 on stock out costs means that the company is losing a lot of business due to stock out. A score of 100 would mean there is no stock out and demand is sufficiently met. Similarly, a score of 20 on market share doesn’t mean that the market share is 20%. Actual Market Share could be very low (<10%) which resulted in a score of 20 out 100.
