Managing for performance excellence

vlerick on high-performing organisations

By: Kurt Verweire,Regine Slagmulder,Koen Dewettinck

Managing for Performance Excellence provides practitioners with an integrative framework that highlights the key ingredients of an effective approach to performance management. It describes the formal process of planning, measuring and monitoring performance that companies need to develop as the first step towards becoming a highperforming organisation. As the numerous examples show, a well-functioning process by itself does not guarantee enduring success. Based on an in-depth analysis of real-life situations, the authors draw attention to potential pitfalls and highlight four concrete performance management challenges that companies need to address: clear strategic focus; engaging climate; collaborative structure; and solid information infrastructure. Performance management is examined from a number of different perspectives, with ample illustrations and practical guidelines against which readers can benchmark their own organisations. These insights are a product of the multidisciplinary pool of expertise present at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School; a school renowned for its successful mix of academic knowledge and business relevance.

Management Control

Concepts, Methods and Practices

By: Werner Bruggeman,Sophie Hoozée,Regine Slagmulder

Management Control: Concept, Methods and Practices conceptualises management control concepts, methods and practices used by C-level executives and controllers in managing financial and strategic performance. The authors show how financial and strategic performance control processes can be integrated in order to create and improve internal strategic alignment. Alongside traditional controls (such as managing cost centres, profit centres, investment centres, budgeting, and variance reporting) the use of advanced costing systems (such as activity-based costing and time-driven activity-based costing) and the balanced scorecard in planning and executing improvements of financial and strategic performance is discussed. The authors illustrate how controllers can run a control process in which intended strategies, performance measures, performance targets, actions, and budgets are all aligned with each other across all organisational levels (vertical alignment) and between business units and functions (horizontal alignment), and in which financial performance is controlled in relation to strategic performance. The authors promote a holistic approach and highlight the role of human motivation in the design of management control systems. Using insights from the psychology literature on motivation in the workplace, this book argues that management control systems should not only align goals and interests of internal organisational actors, but also enhance their autonomous motivation and well-being in order to achieve sustainable performance. More specifically, the authors draw on self-determination theory to explain managerial behaviour in response to the use of control systems. Through the use of numerous examples from European companies, this book provides materials that can be used in business and management control courses at undergraduate and graduate level, as well as for use in the workplace. It will benefit managers, consultants, financial analysts, controllers, information systems designers, and executive leaders of organizations. [Subject: Business & Management]

Supply Chain Development for the Lean Enterprise

Interorganizational Cost Management

By: Robin Cooper,Regine Slagmulder

Four questions determine whether a company is using interorganizational cost management. Does your firm set specific cost-reduction objectives for its suppliers? Does your firm help its customers and/or suppliers find ways to achieve their cost-education objectives? Does your firm take into account the profitability of its suppliers when negotiating component pricing with them? Is your firm continuously making its buyer-supplier interfaces more efficient? If the answer to any of these questions is "no", your firm risks introducing products that cost too much or are not competitive. The full potential of the supply network can be realized only when the entire supply chain adopts interorganizational cost management practices. Competitive pressure has led many firms to try to increase the efficiency of supplier firms through interorganizational cost management systems, a structured approach to coordinating the activities of firms in a supplier network to reduce the total costs in the network. It is particularly important to lean enterprises for two reasons: Lean enterprises typically outsource more of the added value of their products than their mass producer counterparts. Lean enterprises usually compete more aggressively and must manage costs more effectively. Interorganizational cost management can reduce costs in three ways: through product design, through product manufacture and through cooperative approaches between buyers and suppliers to build smoother interfaces. However, more than just cost management must cross interorganizational boundaries. Suppliers are also a major source of innovation for lean enterprises. Successful supplier networks encourage every firm in the network to innovate and compete more aggressively. Read this book to learn to manage the supply chain to forge competitive advantage while reducing costs.

Target Costing and Value Engineering

By: Robin Cooper,Regine Slagmulder

What would happen if everyone in your company followed a disciplined approach to cost reduction? Go ahead -- imagine it. What would it look like? How can it be done? The answer -- smart cost management. Effective cost management must start at the design stage. As much as 90-95% of a product's costs are added in the design process. That is why effective cost management programs focus on design and manufacturing. The primary cost management method to control cost during design is a combination of target costing and value engineering. Target Costing Objectives: Identify the cost at which your product must be manufactured at if it is to earn its profit margin at its expected target selling price. Break the target cost down to its component level and have your suppliers find ways to deliver the components they sell you at the set target prices while still making adequate returns. Value Engineering: The connection to function: An organized effort and team based approach to analyze the functions of goods and services that the design stage, and find ways to achieve those functions in a manner that allows the firm to meet its target costs. The result: Added value for your company (development costs on-line with added value for your company; development costs on-line with selling prices) and added value for your customer (higher quality products that meet, possibly even exceed, customer expectations.)
