Modelling of performance measurement systems in manufacturing enterprises
Article Abstract:
A set of procedures, methods and tools used for the analysis and modelling and development of performance measurement systems is illustrated. The control view, the data view and the process view are used in the endeavor to create a model for performance measurement systems. Results indicate that the importance of this process of modelling lies in the creation of the three views, rather than particular tools or procedures used.
