BALANCE SCORECARD KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS - SMART

With Measurements, everyone can understand how their Company is doing base on each ones work contributed at any point of time. Therefore, the concerned organization can easily be notified to align, communicate, coordinate and cooperate in order to minimize or prevent loses.

With Real Time and Accurate Measurements as Performance Metrics for Management Decision Making (MBO) from different Levels throughout the entire Organization based on Shared Vision of Success or Critical Success Factors. Another Term is KRAs (Key Results Area).

KPI is more than a scorecard. It is an Efficacious Functional Organizational Processes (involving People, Economical Lay-Outs, Machines, Facilities, Inventories, Documentation, MIS, Training Programs, Policies) as Standards, Technologies, Strategies & Management

BENEFITS:

* BSC KPI-SMART facilitates for the Management (from Top to Lowest Level - in Command Accountability Chain and Cross Functional / Sectional) and even to the entire Organization to be focused on a day to day (with Cut-Off Time) basis as to what really matters activities ... Accurate and Real Time PERFORMANCE METRICS of each one.

EVERYONE in the Organization's (From Top Management Cascaded to the Micro Unit Personnel) Key Performance Metrics are INTERCONNECTED, INTER-RELATED AND INTEGRATED in order to Effectively and Efficiently Achieve their Shared Vision of Success.

Ascertain All Critical Success Factors (Key Results Area) in BSC 4 Perspectives (shown below in colored and indented fonts) and establish each ones KPI-SMART [KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS - SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT AND TIME BOUND) + the 3Os Essential Functions of Management (ORGANIZING, ORCHESTRATING AND OVERSEEING)].

SMOOTH FLOW of the Business because each Department are both the INTERNAL CUSTOMER and SUPPLIERS with Lead Time.

GROWTH of the Company's Business can be achieved faster

* EASILY

1) Increase Sales and Collection,

2) Cost Efficient - Increase in Profits

3) High Yield Mileage from Usages of Inventories, Man Hours, Machines, Utilities and Facilities,

4) Minimize Lost of Opportunity to Sell - EOQ

5) Minimize Wastage | Spoilage and Cost of Money - EOQ

6) Tally | Check and Balance

7) And many more

INTERCONNECTED, INTER-RELATED and INTEGRATED Application of BALANCE SCORECARD KPI-SMART 4 Perspectives (CUSTOMERS, FINANCE, INTERNAL BUSINESS PROCESSES, ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY | LEARNING AND GROWTH) to a Company's "Critical Success Factor (KRA)

CUSTOMERS

(Distributors, Dealers, Retailers and End Consumers)

1. Inventories are always available for timely delivery based on promised Lead Time in reference to Logistics' Master Route Plan per Week, Bi-Weekly and Monthly

Disclaimer:

SCM System can only Minimize the Loss of Opportunity To Sell, as well as in terms of Over-Stocking that could lead to Spoilage and Cost of Money

FINANCE |

Corporate Planning (a Strategic Management Tool to Map out a Course of Action that will result in Revenue Growth & Increase Profits by making Internal Operations more effective & productive)

1. Budget for the SCM (Supply Chain Management) to ensure Customers' Orders are complete and delivered as Planned

1.a. Inventory remaining balance good for one week (from LOCAL Supplier | Production with maximum of 4days to one week lead time) vis-a-vis receiving of delivery | partial transfer. Example - 4 days maximum LT, have ORDERING POINT when items good for 8 working days. With this system, your periodical ending balance will be limited to a maximum of 8 days and not more than that will only be spoiled soon and or cost of money.

Note: Go down to same highlighted color in IBP

1.b. At least 3 Suppliers for each item. Preferably with Terms and Credit Lines
