Real-Time Example of KRA & KPI
Example: Implementing Lean Manufacturing Principles
KRA: Applying Lean principles to minimize waste and optimize production processes.
- KPI 1: Reduction in production waste by 15% within the first quarter
- KPI 2: Increase in production efficiency by 10% after Lean implementation
- KPI 3: Decrease in production lead time by 20% through process streamlining
- KPI 4: Cost savings of 5% achieved through Lean initiatives
These KPIs resulted in enhanced production efficiency, reduced costs, and improved overall performance.
Key Takeaways
- KRA defines what needs to be done, whereas KPI measures how well it is done.
- KPIs should always be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
- Regular tracking and adjustments ensure success in Production Planning Control.
