Measurements Matter

Andy Gager, CMRP, CPIM, CAMA
CEO, AMG International Consulting

Whatever you call it — metrics, measurements, or key performance indicators (KPI) — you must have performance measurements in place either to validate that the work you staff is performing in achieving the department's goals and objectives, or to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Measuring and monitoring your department's activities is essential in determining the way that these activities affect the facility's overall condition and performance. When it comes to service provider management, you can use numerous KPIs to measure performance or service. At the end of the day, each of these measurements has a financial impact on the organization. This session highlights KPIs you should consider and implement to achieve operational excellence.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Identify the effective definition and usage of metrics that matter to your building
  2. Understand the importance of measuring and monitoring your departments activities
  3. Determine how to select the right KPIs that make sense for your organization
