KPI - Key Performance Indicators
Key performance indicators are used in four main areas:
Revenue improvement Cost reduction Process cycle-time improvement Increased customer satisfaction
The following are KPI examples that are used in real-life scenarios. Using these KPIs will benefit in reducing overheads, errors, rework, delays and cost
Business Process - Key Performance Indicators
. KPI: Percentage of processes where completion falls within +/- 5% of the estimated completion KPI: Average process overdue time KPI: Percentage of overdue processes KPI: Average process age KPI: Percentage of processes where the actual number assigned resources is less than planned number of assigned resources KPI: Sum of costs of killed / stopped active processes KPI: Average time to complete task KPI: Sum of deviation of time (e.g. in days) against planned schedule of all active projects
Service Level Agreement (SLA) - Key Performance Indicators
KPI: Percentage of service requests resolved within an agreed-upon/acceptable period of time KPI: Cost of service delivery as defined in Service Level Agreement (SLA) based on a set period such as month or quarter KPI: Percentage of outage (unavailability) due to implementation of planned changes, relative to the service hours KPI: Average time (e.g. in hours) between the occurrence of an incident and its resolution KPI: Downtime - the percentage of the time service is available KPI: Availability - the total service time = the mean time between failure (MTBF) and the mean time to repair (MTTR) KPI: Number of outstanding actions against last SLA review KPI: The deviation of the planned budget (cost) is the difference in costs between the planned baseline against the actual budget of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) KPI: Percentage of correspondence replied to on time KPI: Percentage of incoming service requests of customers have to be completely answered within x amount of time KPI: Number of complaints received within the measurement period KPI: Percentage of customer issues that were solved by the first phone call
KPI: Number of operator activities per call maximum possible, minimum possible, and average. (E.g. take call, log call, attempt dispatch, retry dispatch, escalate dispatch, reassign dispatch, etc.) KPI: The number of answered phone call per hour KPI: Total Calling Time per Day or week. KPI: Average queue time of incoming phone calls KPI: Cost per minute of handle time KPI: Number of un-responded emails KPI: Average after call work time (work done after call has been concluded) KPI: Costs of operating a call centre / service desk, usually for a specific period such as month or quarter KPI: Average number of calls / service requests per employee of call center / service desk within measurement period KPI: Number of complaints received within the measurement period
Service Quality - Key Performance Indicators
KPI: Cycle time from request to delivery KPI: Call length - the time to answer a call KPI: Volume of calls handled - per call centre staff KPI: Number of escalations how many bad KPI: Number of reminders - how many at risk KPI: Number of alerts - overall summary KPI: Customer ratings of service - customer satisfaction KPI: Number of customer complaints - problems KPI: Number of late tasks - late
Efficiency - Key Performance Indicators
KPI: Cycle time from request to delivery KPI: Average cycle time from request to delivery KPI: Call length KPI: Volume of tasks per staff KPI: Number of staff involved KPI: Number of reminders KPI: Number of alerts KPI: Customer ratings of service KPI: Number of customer complaints KPI: Number of process errors KPI: Number of human errors KPI: Time allocated for administration, management, training
Compliance - Key Performance Indicators
KPI: Average time lag between identification of external compliance issues and resolution KPI: Frequency (in days) of compliance reviews
Budget - Key Performance Indicators
KPI: Sum of deviation in money of planned budget of projects
Index used in Key Performance Indicators
Satisfied: The user is fully productive. This represents the time value (T seconds) below which users are not impeded by application response time. Tolerating: The user notices performance lagging within responses greater than T, but continues the process. Frustrated: Performance with a response time greater than F seconds is unacceptable, and users may abandon the process.
