Performance Measurements

Organizations often use a performance metrics system that only provides point to point comparisons. For example, the currently monthly profitability of a business might be compared to last month. Any movement that is not desirable often leads to a search for what happened.

This what-happened investigation can result in the treatment of common cause variability as though it were special cause. Wasteful firefighting often is a result of traditional metric report-outs and nothing positive happens relative to making a metric improve over time.

A 30,000-foot-level predictive reporting methodology addresses this traditional metric reporting format shortcoming. With 30,000-foot-level metric reporting, a predictive statement assessment is made. If a process output performance is stable and the futuristic response is undesirable, this metric desirable shortcoming pulls for the creation of a process improvement effort that enhances the measurement’s response.

Enterprise Performance Reporting System (EPRS) software provides a means to easily create 30,000-foot-level report outs. A statistical shift in the time-series portion of a 30,000-foot-level metric is an indicator that the process output changed, either to the betterment or degradation. When this happens a new predictive process statement can then be made using this software.
