Reliability Performance Monitoring and Tracking

The performance monitoring practices are centered around the following principles:
  • I must be able to measure what I am doing in order to improve it
  • We set reasonable and achievable targets as well as stretch targets to drive improvement
  • I need to feel accountable for my performance as well as my contribution to the success of my team.
Key Performance Monitoring Practices
  • Defining Metrics
  • Organizational Focus
  • Wrong metrics drive wrong behavior
  • Levels of Metrics
  • Need to mean something to individuals being measured
  • Need to limit to a few key metrics
  • Need to change as problems get solved and organization improves
  • Need to drive cooperation among departments vs. sub-optimization
  • Top Level Metrics
  • Utilization
  • Operations Expense (Opex)
  • Profit Margin – focus on maximizing highest value products and minimizing lowest value products.
