Guideline 1 : 2011 KPIs The aim of this guideline is to provide guidance to all ganizations during the implementation and maintenance of an IRIS Certified Business Management System (BMS) concerning the identification of the Key Perfmance Indicats (KPIs) required to comply with the IRIS requirements. 1 WHY KPIs? Key Perfmance Indicats (KPIs) help an ganization to define and to measure progress toward ganizational goals. Once an ganization has analyzed its mission, identified all its stakeholders, and defined its goals, it needs a way to measure progress toward those goals. Key Perfmance Indicats are those measurements. In process iented ganizations, the goals are reached through the implementation of effective and efficient processes, tfe it is vital to make a regular perfmance appraisal f the processes and f all the aspects that can affect the efficiency of the business. The KPI, when properly developed, provide all staff with clear goals and objectives, coupled with an understanding of how they relate to the overall success of the ganization. Published internally and continually referred to, they will also strengthen shared values and create common goals. 2 DEFINITION KEY: Only Key when it is of fundamental imptance in gaining competitive advantage and is a make break element in the success failure of the ganization. PERFORMANCE: Only relating to Perfmance when it can be clearly measured, quantified and influenced by the ganization. INDICATOR: Only an Indicat if it provides leading infmation on future perfmance. Effectiveness and efficiency are also key parameters to be considered to identify the right KPIs: Effectiveness: The degree to which objectives are achieved and the extent to which targeted problems are solved. Efficiency: The comparison of what is actually produced perfmed with what can be achieved with the same consumption of resources (money, time, lab, etc.). It is an imptant fact in determination of productivity. In contrast to efficiency, effectiveness is determined without reference to costs and, was effectiveness means doing the right thing, efficiency means doing the thing right. 2011 UNIFE.

4 GUIDELINE 1 : 2011 - KPIs - F a KPI of Increase Sales, t s the need to consider whether to measure by units sold by value of sales. Will returns be deducted from sales in the month of the sale the month of the return? Will sales be recded f the KPI at list price at the actual sales price? In the IRIS scheme, KPIs are meant to measure the perfmance of the Processes. The KPIs usually are long-term considerations and may differ depending on the type of ganization. The selected KPIs will need to: 1. Reflect the ganizational goals, 2. Be quantifiable (measurable), 3. Be key to the ganization s success. Reflect The Organizational Goals An ganization that has as one of its goals to be the most profitable ganization in the Rail Industry will have Key Perfmance Indicats that measure profit. On the other hand, a manufacturer of Bearings, having one of its goals to provide better customer service will set the related KPI to measure the responsiveness perfmance of its Customer Service department. Be quantifiable (measurable) F a KPI to be of any value, t must be a way to accurately define and measure it. Be The Most Popular Organization won t wk as a KPI because t is no way to measure the ganization s popularity compare it to others. Setting targets f each KPI is of fundamental imptance. If one of the ganization goals is to be the employer of choice, the associated KPI might measure the employee fluctuation rate. Once the KPI has been defined as the number of voluntary resignations and terminations f perfmance, divided by the total number of employees at the beginning of the period and a way to measure it has been set up (by collecting the infmation in a human resource infmation system), the target has to be established. Reduce employee fluctuation by five percent per year is a clear target that everyone will understand and be able to take specific action to accomplish. Be key to the ganization s success In selecting KPIs, it s critical to limit them to those facts that are essential to the ganization reaching its goals. It is also imptant to keep the number of Key Perfmance Indicats small just to keep everyone s attention focused on achieving the same KPIs. That is not to say, f instance, that a ganization will have only three four KPIs in total. Rather t will be three four Key Perfmance Indicats f the ganization and all the units within it will have three, four, five KPIs that suppt the overall ganization goals and can be rolled up into them. If an ganization s Key Perfmance Indicat is Increased Customer Satisfaction, that KPI will be focused differently in different departments: the manufacturing department may have a KPI of Number of Units Rejected by Quality Inspection, while the sales department has a KPI of Minutes A Customer Is On Hold Befe A Sales Representative Answers.

5 sales and manufacturing departments in meeting their respective departmental Key Perfmance Indicats will help the ganization to meet its overall KPIs. Example of a well defined KPI: Title of KPI: Employee Turnover Defined: The total of the number of employees who resign f whatever reason, plus the number of employees terminated f perfmance reasons, and that total divided by the number of employees at the beginning of the year. Employees lost due to Reductions in Fce (RIF) will not be included in this calculation. Measured: The human resource infmation system contains recds of each employee. The separation section lists reason and date of separation f each employee., the human resource department will query the database and provide department heads with Employee Turnover repts. The human resource department will post graphs of each rept on the intranet. Target: Reduce Employee Turnover by 5% per year. Example of a badly defined KPI: Title of KPI: Increase Sales Defined: Change in sales volume from month to month Measured: Total of sales by region f all regions Target: Increase each month What s missing? Does this measure increases in sales volume by value units? If by value, does it measure list price sales price? Are returns considered and if so do they appear as an adjustment to the KPI f the month of the sale are they counted in the month the return happens? How do we make sure each sales office s volume numbers are counted in one region, i.e. that none are skipped double counted? How much, by percentage value units, do we want to increase sales volumes each month? 3 SMART KPIs A KPI can follow the SMART criteria. Specific: It has to be clear what the KPI exactly measures. T has to be one universally-accepted definition of the KPI to make sure the different users interpret it the same way and, as a result, come to the same and right conclusions which they can act on. Measurable: The KPI has to be measurable to define a standard, budget nm, to make it possible to measure the actual value and to make the actual value comparable to the targeted value. Achievable: F every KPI a target value has to be defined. It is imptant f the acceptance of KPIs and Perfmance Management in general within the ganization that this value is achievable. Nothing is me discouraging than striving f a goal that you will never reach. Relevant: The KPI provides me insight in the perfmance of the ganization processes in being consistent with its policy and business plan. A KPI is only relevant if the ganization s processes can influence it. Time phased: It is imptant to express the targeted value of the KPI in time. Every KPI only has a meaning if one knows the time dimension in which it is realized. The realization and standardization of the KPI tfe has to be time phased. 4 IMPLEMENTING KPIs When an ganization wants to define KPIs it has to assure that the indicats are unmistakably defined, objectives are in place and that the calculation can be 2011 UNIFE.

6 GUIDELINE 1 : 2011 - KPIs - done easily, preferably automatically. Additionally it is necessary that the ganization identifies itself with the KPIs and is aware how to influence them. Not the quantity of KPIs but the quality decides ( twenty is plenty ). 5 MEASURING KPIs F measuring KPIs several prerequisites must be fulfilled: Definition of calculation of KPI (e.g. (value X/value Y)*100; (actual value)- (planned value)); Unit of measurement must be defined (e.g. percentage, Euro, quantities); Adequate repting interval must be fixed (e.g. monthly, quarterly); Presentation fm must be chosen (e.g. pie diagram, bar chart, spider diagram); Target f the repting period must be displayed (e.g. delivery perfmance to the customer 95%); Data source must be chosen (e.g. table XYZ from the ERP-system); Accuracy of the KPI data must be known; Data collect must be nominated (e.g. Mr. X from the sales department, Ms. Y from procurement); KPI owner must be named; Trends of the KPI must be interpretable (e.g. sales increases due to a new sales representative due to a sales campaign); Guidance f taking actions must be in place (e.g. sales decrease is analyzed by meeting with sales representative) All prerequisites must be documented in an agreed fmat (e.g. in a KPI profile) 6 HOW TO DEAL WITH IRIS KPIs 6.1 Mandaty IRIS KPIs Customer on time delivery perfmance (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Non confmities raised by the customer throughout the entire Project Life Cycle (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Tender management (IRIS clause 7.2.4) Design and development (IRIS clause 7.3) Purchasing Process (IRIS clause 7.4.1) Project Management new Product development (IRIS clause 7.7) Project Management Cost management (IRIS clause 7.7.4) 6.2 Recommended IRIS KPIs Internal and supplier non confmities throughout the entire Project Life Cycle (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Supplier on time delivery perfmance (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Response time on non confmities raised by the customer (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Quality Deficiency Costs (IRIS clause 5.6.2) Review of requirements related to the Product (IRIS clause 7.2.2) First Article Inspection (FAI) (IRIS clause 7.9) Customer satisfaction (IRIS clause 8.2.1) Analysis of data (IRIS clause 8.4) TABLE 1: KPI definition table KPI Description:...
