Achievement of objectives

Is calculated by the BSC planned-actual comparison report. The report specifies the Good, Average, and Poor attribute values. The attribute can also be specified manually. In this case, the Outstanding and Very poor values are also available. Manually specified values are overwritten automatically if you run the BSC planned-actual comparison report.

KPI instance

KPI evaluation

BSC planned-actual comparison *

Create BSC management view*

Indicates whether the achievement of objectives of a KPI is proportional or inversely proportional to the KPI value:

Proportional: Increasing values of the Actual value or Plan value attributes indicate an improvement in the degree of goal accomplishment (for example, turnover, customer satisfaction index).

Inversely proportional: Increasing values of the Actual value or Plan value attributes indicate a deterioration in the degree of goal accomplishment (for example, turnover, customer complaint frequency). If this attribute is not specified, the reports use the Proportional value.

Indicator type

Degree of goal accomplishment

Is calculated by the BSC planned-actual comparison report. The attribute can also be specified manually. Manually specified values are overwritten automatically if you run the BSC planned-actual comparison report.

When combined, the weightings of all KPI instances allocated to an objective or success factor must be equal to 1.0. If there is only one KPI instance, the weighting must be 1.0.

supports

Strength of influence

Create BSC management view*

Evaluates the effect of an initiative or process on an objective or a success factor.

A value of 0 means that there is no direct effect on the objective (for example, in the case of essential support processes).

A value of 1 means that an initiative or process will lead to completely achieving an objective or success factor. The combined effect on an objective of several initiatives or processes can be > 1, since not all initiatives necessarily have to be performed to reach an objective.
