kpi library logoIdentify your key performance indicators and compare them to benchmarks with others

Businesses grow by improving performance to certain key measurements related to the business. Businesses compete by performing and improving better than industry standards. The KPI Library provides tools and data that allows you to create your own measurements, track the information, or compare your progress with benchmarked performance with industry standards.

Establishing Performance Measurements and Benchmarks

You determine the measurements that will lead to the greatest improvement in your business. We frequently refer to these measurements as indicators or metrics.

You may set some Key Indicators that measure the most important or bottom line performance of your company:

  • Total profits
  • Total revenues
  • Total expenses
  • Total production numbers
  • Total sales numbers

Process indicators measure the steps or actions that contribute to achieving the key indicators:

  • Number of pieces that pass a quality inspection and the number that fail
  • Number of clients called or visited with the number that heard a full presentation
  • Amount of raw material consumed during the production process
  • Number of days between receiving an account receivable and  deposit into the bank
