公共部门中的绩效悖论

一、引言

现在,国家投入了比以往任何时候都要多的注意力、时间和金钱在公共部门的绩效衡量和评价上(经济合作与发展组织[OECD],1996;Pollitt & Bouckaert,2000;p.87;Power,1997)。基于结果的管理是各级公共部门一整天的话题,从地方、区域、国家,甚至前国家。学校和大学,地方政府,其他行政组织,发展援助机构(非政府组织和国际非政府组织),和组织,世界银行都参与绩效结果上的数据和信息制造,如果可能的话,也包括对绩效结果的影响。Power(1994,1997,2000)甚至提到“审计爆炸”或“审计的社会”。新公共管理领域的信徒将一个高度优先事项归于计量产出和成果。他们旨在根据这种理想信息基础上的新政策和管理活动,使得政策的执行更有效率和效力。但是,评价研究表明,很

多试图引进基于结果的管理方式最后仍然不成功(例如Leeuw & Van Gils, 1999, 荷兰研究述评)。不过,衡量产出、成果、和评价活动的需要在政治家和行政人员发表的改善政府工作表现的声明中仍然是一个重要的组成部分。

下面,我们将表明以下观点:公共部门产出计量的增加会导致某些意想不到的后果,不仅可能会废止公共部门绩效的结论,也会消极地影响这个绩效。我们将通过一些不同的例子表明,公共部门的一些特征在发展和使用绩效指标之后还会适得其反。最后,我们将就如何处理公共部门中运用绩效评估造成的问题提出一些建议。我们认为,这个问题非常重要。因为,尽管存在问题,绩效衡量仍对公共部门的日常运作,特别是公共支出,存在不菲的价值。

二、公共部门中的绩效考核

随着行政改革的崛起,公共部门中的绩效考核得到了愈来愈多的关注(cf.power,2000)。在上世纪80年代,大多数西方国家由于经济衰退和国际竞争加剧,逐渐引发了这种改革。而这场改革的口号便是“新公共管理”。它的目标是双重的:削减预算,并提高政府官僚机构的效力和效率。为了实现后一个目标,市场型的机制,如私有化,和竞争性的招标,都被引进了公共部门。另外,单位和部门被卖出进入准自治非政府组织。这种例子比比皆是(对10个OECD 国家的评论,Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2000)。

处于这些变化之下的实践理论是,政治家应该坚持自己的核心业务,即制定新的政策来实现(政治)的目标。奥斯本和盖布勒(1992)的格言是“指导而不是争吵”。根据这些新公共管理大师,政策的执行应留给市场,或者,如果这是不可能的,给(半)自治组织运作中的准市场环境(例如,竞争的学校或医院)。这种分离的政策和管理是通过政府与实施政策的组织之间拟定的合同来提供便利的。该合同明确什么任务将被执行,哪些代理人将会受到“奖励”。代理人的业绩表现在绩效指标方面,如产品的数量或提供的服务。“投入”管理因而也被倾向于注重结果的“产出”管理所取代。类似的变化同样发生在政府官僚机构,在那里,自我管理和合同管理引入(部分)取代了分层指导。

上述变化导致公共部门采用大量私人机构技术以衡量和改善绩效,如绩效指标。指标不仅使政治家来衡量和评价公共及私人政策执行组织的业绩,它们也增加了认定业绩的机会——行政改革的另一目标。显然,所有这些变化都基于一个强有力的信念,即公共部门的绩效是可衡量的。但是,正如我们下面要讨论的那样,信仰可能过于简单化(cf. Fountain, 2001)。

三、绩效悖论

绩效悖论指的是绩效指标和绩效本身之间的薄弱联系(Meyer & Gupta, 1994; Meyer & O'Shaughnessy, 1993)。这种现象是被绩效指标减少一段运行时间的趋势所引起的。它们失去了作为绩效衡量的价值,并且不能够区分好和差的业绩。因此,实际和报告出来的业绩之间的关系便下滑了。

绩效指标的恶化是由四个过程引起的(Meyer & Gupta, 1994, pp. 330-342)。第一个过程被称为积极的学习,也就是说,业绩的改善时,指标失去了其检测不良业绩的灵敏度。事实上,当指标过时时,每个人都会做得很好。第二个进程是所谓的有害学习。当组织或个人了解到哪些方面的业绩被衡量(哪些不被衡量)的时候,他们可以利用这些信息来操纵他们的评估。例如,当他们把所有的努力都用到要衡量的方面时,绩效水平就上去了。但是,总体上可能没有实际的改进,甚至可能是另一方面绩效的恶化(cf. tunnel vision)(Smith, 1995)。第三个进程,选择,指的是以绩效高的更换绩效低下者,从而降低绩效差异。第四,当绩效中差异被忽略时,抑制就出现了。

重要的是要认识到,矛盾的是不是业绩本身,而是有关的业绩报告。与期望相反,指标并没有准确地报告业绩。这可能意味着绩效比所报告的要差,但也有认为比报告要好的情况。在后一种情况下,绩效悖论可能被认为没有坏处。然而,在绩效评估结果是用来评价组织或个人时,出现这些不公正的制裁的情况可能会上升。破案率下降,表明警方的绩效在不断恶化。但是,在研究期间内,之前相比,更多的肇事者已被逮捕,起诉和惩罚,这又表明,绩效水平改进了。Wiebrens 和Essers(1999)表明,在荷兰,犯罪模式走向了废止(国际公认的)指标。例如,犯罪已经越来越暴力,但是指标却没有区分像重罪和轻罪这类的差别。此外,更多的犯罪团伙由于一起犯罪被逮捕,比如破坏,这降低了刑事罪行的平均数目。Wiebrens和Essers得出结论,这不是警方的效果不好,而是指标不好。因此它应该被取代。

另一个绩效悖论的例子存在于关于超过代表性的事件中,它来自smith (1995)。在英国国民健康服务中心,与会者一致认为,患者为做手术而等待的时间不得超过2年。这些项措施似乎取得成功,因为轮候的平均时间减少了。然而,进一步检查发现,减少是因为等待时间只有在第一次医院协商之后才开始计算,而协商被推迟,以减少等待时间。事实上,等待时间并没有减少,只是转移了而已。该指标没有准确地反映业绩;它报告了一个本不存在的改善。

四、公共部门中绩效悖论的发现和预防

尽管大多数的读者都承认迄今为止我们已经给的例子,但是在绩效中跟踪绩效悖论仍然不容易。它不仅可以采取许多不同的形式,也可以无意间导致一些变数,如政府的要求,需要执行的任务的要求,含糊不清或相互矛盾性质的政策目标,以及执行机构的能力。此外,一个人往往不知道绩效悖论的存在,直到为时已晚。因为,只要一切顺利,或看似顺利,没有必要进行干预(cf. Leeuw, 1995)。一个爆竹厂爆炸的例子中发现,调查原因,这场灾难揭示了一系列“小”的问题,这些问题本身并不被视为是灾难性的。例如,这个事件中明显缺乏地方和中央政府,监察局,消防部门的监督。缺乏适当的监督,就会阻止对非法活动发生的发现。因此,在住宅区经营的授权被不公正地无条件延长了。当火灾在工厂的地面上发生时,社区被摧毁,人丧生。小问题的积累变成了大问题,但显然没有任何机制或制度,以检测和避免这样的小错误的积累。当然,当地政客被追究责任,但只能是事后。这留给我们一个问题,即我们怎样才能检测和预防公共部门中绩效悖论的发生。

一些策略用来跟踪绩效悖论是可行的。理想的情况下,比较实际的执行情况和报告,是最好的方式。然而,这种比较一般很难,因为缺乏比较资料。替代方法是:(1)使用外部来源获得的信息,如国家监察员,基层组织,和客户端小组的工作;(2)从现有的指标制定新的业绩指标,例如,一个百分比评分替代总支出或总产出;或(3)分析的考核体系。

绩效考核体系的分析将不得不把重点放到一些特征上。首先,指标的数量是重要的,所有需要执行的任务都要求制定相应的指标。由于很少为总绩效的有限部分制定相应指标,这便促进了绩效悖论的发生。当指标过时却仍不改变时,这种效果就会加强。接下来,应注意指标的制定者。制定自己绩效指标的组织有更多的机会来操纵信息以实现自己的利益,从而引起了绩效悖论(凡泰尔,2001年)。第三,它需要建立问责制以确定是否所有的要求都得到了满足。如果没有,就需要知道代理人没报告的业绩及其原因。绩效报告中的差距可以指向高于或低于绩效方面的表现然后指出绩效方面的矛盾。最后,应该对行政和组织基础的考核体系进行调查。

公共部门绩效评估不得不将公共服务的性质用记事的方式来表现。专业服务的方式被生产和消费,并且公共服务的方式被具有影响绩效检测的社会所重视。在公共部门,消费者参与服务提供过程;影响产出和结果(cf. Fountain, 2001, p.58)。此外,大部分产品是无形的。因此,绩效指标应力求反映质量和可靠性,而不是“硬性”的产品属性。公共服务不仅有关效率和效益,更是关于正义,公平,平等和问责制。Fountain (2001)警告说,私人部门技术的应用,如绩效指

标,不能取代,甚至可能掩盖如公共服务所提供的政治或民主成果。

McGuire(2001)探讨了一个绩效监测框架的例子,似乎考虑到了之前讨论过的一些经验。这个框架是由生产力委员会为澳大利亚政府理事会制定的,以此为基准,来衡量教育、卫生、住房和社区服务方面的绩效(可以在https://www.wendangku.net/doc/a06859978.html,.au/gsp上查到)。该框架是澳大利亚所有政府合作制定的,它详细讨论了绩效指标的局限性,以及人类服务提供的复杂性。它包括程序和业务指标,衡量效率(输出)和有效性(成果)以及一些不同的层面。定量措施与服务系统的内容分析相结合。

这个COAG绩效信息被政府机构用来评估业绩,并确定需求和资源。该框架的透明度,改善了业绩和问责制。然而,这透明度“增加,而不是解决了公共服务分配结果方面的政治冲突”(McGuire, 2001, p. 17)。因为政治冲突增加了问责制的机会,而这不应视为绩效评估的一种消极后果。

五、结论

随着上世纪八十年代和九十年代行政改革的进行,公共部门中绩效评估的增加已经产生了几个意想不到的后果,且威胁到了看不到的绩效和绩效本身。为了对付这些后果,绩效评估体系应该将公共部门的特殊性质考虑进去。有争议性的绩效指标需要使用多个指标,即政策执行的不同方面(有形和无形的)和反映各方(政治家,管理人员,供资者,供应商,采购商和消费者)的利益。此外,必须在太多和没有足够措施的压力两者之间寻求平衡点。

一些新的监督机制的增加,可能有助于打击意想不到的后果,如绩效悖论(cf. also Power, 1997)。例如,互联网使得公共部门绩效信息可为每个人所知,这增加了作弊的代理人被抓的风险。第二,公民宪章,开放的政府行为守则的实践和新的申诉程序,增加了不满意的客户投诉处理表现不好的组织的机会。这些新的,更加横向化的绩效评估将补充公共部门中的绩效评估体系。最后,学者应该制定和测试能够解释绩效悖论发生和其他不良后果的理论(Scott, 2001)。更多关于组织行为的理论、机构和公共部门使用绩效指标的影响等方面的知识,可以帮助政府真正实现绩效指标在公共领域的预期优点。

THE PERFORMANCE PARADOX IN

THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Introduction

Nowadays, states spend more attention, time, and money on performance measurement and evaluation in the public sector than ever before (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD], 1996; Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2000, p. 87; Power, 1997). Results-based management is the talk of the day at all levels of the public sector: local, regional, national, and even supra national. Schools and universities, local governments, other administrative agencies, developmental aid organizations (nongovernmental organizations and international nongovernmental organizations), and organizations such as the World Bank are all involved in producing data and information on performance results and, if possible, impact. Power (1994, 1997, and 2000) even refers to the "audit explosion" or the "audit society." Believers in New Public Management (NPM) attribute a high priority to measuring output and outcomes and aim to base their new policies and management activities on this type of information-ideally meant to make policy implementation more efficient and effective. However, evaluation studies show that many attempts to introduce results-based management are still unsuccessful (see, for example, Leeuw & Van Gils, 1999, for a review of Dutch studies). Nevertheless, the need for measuring output, outcomes, and evaluation activities remains an important element in statements by politicians and administrators focused on improving government's performance.

Below, we will argue that this increase of output measurement in the public sector can lead to several unintended consequences that may not only invalidate conclusions on public sector performance but can also negatively influence that performance .We will show that a number of characteristics of the public sector can be counterproductive to developing and using performance indicators, illustrated by different examples. Finally, we will conclude with some suggestions on how to deal with the problem of performance assessment in the public sector. We believe this question is important. Because, although with problems, performance measurement

indeed can be of value to the public sector, especially to the public expenditures.

Performance Assessment in the Public Sector The increased attention to performance assessment in the public sector coincides with the rise of administrative reform (cf. Power, 2000). In the 1980s, economic decline and increased international competition triggered such reform in most western states. New Public Management was the catchword (Hood, 1994). The objective was twofold: to cut budgets and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government bureaucracy. To achieve the latter objective, market-type mechanisms such as privatization, competitive tendering, and vouchers were introduced in the public sector, and departmental units were hived off into quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organizations (quangos). Examples can be found everywhere (for a review of 10 OECD countries, see Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2000).

The practitioner theory underlying these changes is that politicians should stick to their core business that is, developing new policies to realize (political) goals. Osborne and Gaebler's (1992) adage was "steering not rowing." According to these NPM gurus, policy implementation should be left to the market or, if that is not possible, to (semi)-autonomous organizations operating in a quasi-market environment (e.g., competition between schools or hospitals).This separation of policy and administration is facilitated through contracts being drawn up between the government and the organization that implements the policy. The contracts articulate which task has to be carried out and what the executive agent will receive as a "reward." The agent's performance is expressed in terms of performance indicators, such as the number of goods or services rendered. Input management is thus replaced by a results-based orientation. Similar changes took place within government bureaucracy as well, where self management and contract management were introduced to (partly) replace hierarchical steering.

The aforementioned changes in the public sector led to the adoption of a large number of private sector techniques to measure and improve performance, such as performance indicators. Not only do indicators enable politicians to measure and evaluate the performance of public and private policy-implementing organizations, they also increase the opportunities to account for performance—another important goal of administrative reform (Jenkins, Leeuw, & Van Thiel, in press). Obviously, all these changes were fed by a strong belief in the measurability of performance in the public sector. However, as we shall argue below, that belief may have been somewhat

simplistic (cf. Fountain, 2001).

The Performance Paradox

The performance paradox refers to a weak correlation between performance indicators and performance itself (Meyer & Gupta, 1994; Meyer & O'Shaughnessy, 1993). This phenomenon is caused by the tendency of performance indicators to run down over time. They lose their value as measurements of performance and can no longer discriminate between good and bad performers. As a result, the relationship between actual and reported performance declines.

Deterioration of performance indicators is caused by four processes (Meyer & Gupta, 1994, pp. 330-342). The first process is called positive learning; that is, as performance improves, indicators lose their sensitivity in detecting bad performance. In fact, everybody has become so good at what they do that the indicator becomes obsolete. The second process is called perverse learning. When organizations or individuals have learned which aspects of performance are measured (and which are not), they can use that information to manipulate their assessments. For example, by primarily putting all the efforts into what is measured, performance will go up. However, overall there may be no actual improvement or perhaps even a deterioration of (other aspects of) performance (cf. tunnel vision) (Smith, 1995). The third process, selection, refers to the replacement of poor performers with better performers, which reduces differences in performance. Only good performers remain, and the indicator loses its discriminating value-almost resembling a consequence of the survival of the fittest mechanism. And fourth, suppression occurs when differences in performance are ignored (see below for an example).

It is important to understand that the paradox is not about performance itself but about the reports on performance. Contrary to the expectation, indicators do not give an accurate report of performance. This could mean that performance is worse than reported (overrepresentation) but also that it is better than reported (under-representation). In the latter case, the performance paradox might be considered harm-less. However, when the results of performance assessment are used to evaluate organizations or persons, situations can arise where these are unjustly sanctioned.

The percentage of crimes solved is decreasing, indicating that the police's performance is deteriorating. However, during the time period studied, more perpetrators have been arrested, prosecuted, and penalized than before, which would

indicate an improvement of performance. Wiebrens and Essers (1999) show that crime patterns in the Netherlands have developed in a way that invalidates the (internationally well-established) indicator. For one, crime has become more violent, but the indicator does not differentiate between, for example, felonies and misdemeanors. Moreover, more groups of criminals have been arrested committing a crime together such as vandalism, which reduces the average number of crimes per criminal. Wiebrens and Essers conclude that it is not the police that are performing badly but the indicator and that it therefore should be replaced.

An example of a performance paradox in a case of over representation is taken from Smith (1995). In the British National Health Service, it was agreed that patients should be on a waiting list for an operation no longer than 2 years. This measure appeared successful, as the average waiting time decreased. However, on further inspection it was found that because the waiting time only began to be counted after the first hospital consultation, consultation was postponed to decrease the waiting time (perverse learning). In fact, the average waiting time did not decrease at all but was merely shifted in time. The indicator did not accurately reflect performance; it reported an improvement where there was none.

Detection and Prevention of a Performance Paradox

Although most readers will have recognized the examples we have given so far, it is not easy to trace a performance paradox in progress. Not only can it take on many different forms, it can also be the unintended result of a number of variables, such as government demands, the type of task to be carried out, the vagueness or contradictory nature of policy objectives, and the capabilities of the policy-implementing organization. Moreover, one is often not aware of the existence of a performance paradox until it is too late because as long as everything goes well—or appears to go well—there is no need to intervene (cf. Leeuw, 1995). A tragic example is found in the explosion of a firework factory, killing more than 20 people in the city of Enschede, the Netherlands, in May 2000. The investigation into the causes of this disaster revealed a range of "small" problems that by themselves were not considered to be catastrophic. For example, there was a clear lack of monitoring by the local and central governments, inspectorates, and the fire department. The absence of proper supervision prevented the discovery of illegal activities taking place. Hence, the license to operate in a residential area was, unjustly, renewed. When a fire occurred on the grounds of the factory, the neighborhood was destroyed and lives

中小企业如何进行绩效管理

中小企业如何进行绩效管理--规章制度 所谓绩效管理,是指各级管理者和员工为了达到组织目标共同参与的绩效计划制定、绩效辅导沟通、绩效考核评价、绩效结果应用、绩效目标提升的持续循环过程,绩效管理的目的是持续提升个人、部门和组织的绩效。 影响绩效的主要因素有员工技能、外部环境、内部条件以及激励效应。员工技能是指员工具备的核心能力,是内在的因素,经过培训和开发是可以提高的;外部环境是指组织和个人面临的不为组织所左右的因素,是客观因素,我们是完全不能控制的;内部条件是指组织和个人开展工作所需的各种资源,也是客观因素,在一定程度上我们能改变内部条件的制约;激励效应是指组织和个人为达成目标而工作的主动性、积极性,激励效应是主观因素。 绩效管理对于中国企业已经不是一个陌生的话题,从以年终分配为目的的绩效考核到以全面提升企业管理水平为目的的绩效管理,很多经营者都希望通过绩效考核能够提高企业整体绩效水平。而如何真正将绩效管理运用到企业的经营中,并起到战略牵引的作用,也是让很多管理者头痛的问题。在绩效管理的实施中,最常见的问题就是流于形式,实际工作没有深入下去,执行不到位,造成推行绩效考核的管理成本大于绩效水平提高的效果;或者绩效考核实施目标不明确,为了分配奖金而考核,大家挖空心思寻找考核的漏洞和可能的机会,而不是将关注点集中在绩效水平的提升上。这里就涉及到绩效考核的战略导向、实施目标和切入点等一系列需要前期明确和处理的问题,在此就中国中小型企业中可能存在的一些现象做研究分析与大家共享。 在绩效考核实际实施和操作过程中,不同企业之间或相同企业在不同阶段,企业具体的战略目标是大相径庭的,这就决定了推进和实施绩效考核的切入点和侧重点也不相同。如果仅仅根据绩效考核理论生搬硬套,多数情况会象一盘好看却不好吃的菜,让人大倒胃口,有时还会造成不同程度的负面影响。 对于中国多数的中小型企业,绩效考核并不是一步到位、在短时间内建立得非常完善、表面十分光鲜就可以解决问题的;而是要从实际出发,从梳理流程、规范管理入手,开始绩效管理的第一步,等到运行时机成熟、数据积累充分之后,再将绩效考核全面推进,做到每个阶段都有明确具体的目标,每个阶段的实施都能对绩效水平的提高产生较大作用。 一、中小企业的现状与现代管理理论的矛盾 以目前中国中小型企业为例,绩效考核的操作和实施并不是一蹙而就、一步到位,建立得非常完善就可以解决问题的。在很多关于绩效考核的介绍中,为大家提供了完备的建立和实施绩效考核的方法及步骤,而从绩效考核的实施操作来看,这相当于为大家提供了一个非常规范的范本,不过这个范本通常隐含了很多假设作为前提条件,比如一般都要求企业的各项规章制度比较完备、管理流程比较清晰,从而设置各种绩效指标将目标层层分解,把企业的战略目标宣灌到各个层级的各个岗位上,从而保持多数员工的工作目标与整体战略目标的一致性,最大限度调动员工的积极性和创造性达到绩效水平的整体提升。显然,是一个完美的设想,但是对于我们多数的中小企业是否真的可以在这个美丽的设想下,实现绩效水平的大幅提升呢? 目前对于很多企业,尤其是中国的中小型企业,多数是由原来几十人、甚至十几个人的小单位或小作坊发展壮大起来的,在改革开发的市场大潮中有勇气、有魄力,做出了一番事业,在多年的经营中积累了大量的经验和竞争优势;同时这些企业最容易出现的弊病就是管理体系的不规范与落后,尤其是相对与现代化企业制度和管理理论而言。 当然,这是一定时期,中国企业发展的历史造成的,从小作坊或小单位发展到几百人、几千人、几万人甚至更大的企业,他们都有过十分辉煌的历史,但原有的经营模式和管

Figure 1-1 shows a single arrow going from the client to the Web server (the layer where servlets and JSP execute), but there are really two varieties of data: the explicit data that the end user enters in a form and the behind-the-scenes HTTP information. Both varieties are critical. The HTTP information includes cookies, information about media types and compression schemes the browser understands, and so on. 1.3 Generate the results. This process may require talking to a database, executing an RMI or EJB call, invoking a Web service, or computing the response directly. Your real data may be in a relational database. Fine. But your database probably doesn't speak HTTP or return results in HTML, so the Web browser can't talk directly to the database. Even if it could, for security reasons, you probably would not want it to. The same argument applies to most other applications.You need the Web middle layer to extract the results inside a document.

绩效评估,经济增值和管理行为【外文翻译】

本科毕业论文(设计) 外文翻译 原文: Performance Evaluation, Economic Value Added and Managerial Behaviour 1. Introduction For the past two decades many countries started transforming their economies from traditional protected ones to those of more liberalized, globalised and market driven. This period has also seen the economies becoming more knowledge oriented and Human Resources started assuming more prominence in the growth of the economies and businesses. But this has also posed a greater challenge for companies to acquire and retain talented workforce (especially at the strategic & managerial levels). The knowledge economy also started witnessing the rapid rise of the agency problem- conflict of interest between managers and owners. The managers – in their role as the agents–are expected to act in the best interests of the shareholders (principals). Managers will act in shareholders’ interests only if they have right incentives. So it is very essential to align the interests of the managers and shareholders or at least reduce the difference between them. So we need a measure that on one hand rightly measures the managerial performance so that he managers – with talent and greater mobility- can be suitably compensated (and hence retained) and on the other aligns the interests of the managers and shareholders. For some time now Stock Price was thought to be an ideal measure achieving the above objectives. However stock price has many limitations. We shall discuss the pitfalls of stock price as a performance measure before evaluating some of the traditional performance measures and then introduce Economic Value Added as the right measure of managerial performance 2.

供应商质量管理文献翻译(外文翻译-中英对照)

互利共赢的供应商质量控制 前言 近年来,随着对供应链的重视,供应商管理正逐渐成为企业和学术界的关注对象,IS09000族标准以及QS 9000标准都对供应商的管理提出了相应的要求,与供应商管理有关的研究成果正逐渐增多,一些软件巨头也推出了供应商关系管理的软件,但是在这些研究成果和应用软件中,涉及到的供应商质量控制的内容只是一些最基本的要求,而供应商质量控制恰恰是供应商管理的最基本、最重要的内容。另一方而,质量管理界对质量控制的研究取得了大量的成果,遗憾的是这些成果大多依然局限于企业的内部控制,仅仅研究从企业内部各环节如何改善产品的质量,而基于供应链的角度来研究质量控制的成果尚不多见。因此,系统地研究经济全球化形势下供应商质量控制的理论与方法,将有助于推动我国企业产品质量的快速提高和供应链竞争优势的形成与巩固。 1、质量与企业共存 质量一直是一个随着时代的变化而不断变化的概念,人们对质量的认识也往往因关注点不同而有所不同。如,早在1908年,通用汽车公司的工程师们在皇家汽车俱乐部会员们的面前拆解了3辆凯迪拉克轿车,并把这些零件混在一起,而后从中选择零件重新组装成车,然后驾车绝尘而去。这令在场的会员极为震惊,认为凯迪拉克车质量之高令人惊叹。显然在当时,汽车零件具有互换性是一种了不起的质量特性,这也是福特公司的N型车和T型车取得辉煌成功的重要原因.时至今日,即使农用三轮车的零部件也具有极高的互换性,零部件的标准化和互换性已经是理所当然的事情,不再是吸引顾客的重要质量特性.可见质量的内涵是不断变化的.那么究竟什么是质量呢? (1)市场竟争就是企业间对“顾客”的争夺,在日益激烈的“顾客"争夺战中,质量、价格、交付(交付日期、方式和手段)和服务是企业常用的四个法宝,其中质量是根本,离开质量其他三项将变得毫无意义,因此可以说质量己成为市场竞争的焦点.它反映了产品是否能够反映顾客需求、能否满足顾客需求,从面决定了产品的市场前途。有鉴于此,质量己成为一项全球性运动,世界上所有优秀企业无一不把质量作为企业战略的关键内容,从战略的角度来规划质量。 (2)对于企业经营者来说,认识到质量对企业的重要意义只是经营企业的第一步,重要的是如何利用科学的方法来保证产品和服务的质量,使顾客满意,来保证过程和工作的质量来获互利共炭的供应商质量控制得良好的业绩。 众所周知,企业管理是社会生产力发展到一定程度的历史产物,质量管理作为企业管理的组成部分,同样也是社会发展的客观要求,特别是顾客处于主导地位的今天,要使顾客满意,就必须有过硬的产品质量和服务质量,这就要求企业积极推行先进的质量管理理论与方法,不断进行质量管理创新. 2、企业与供应商质量控制 随着生产社会化的不断发展,企业的生产活动分工越来越细,专业化程度越来越强,促使生产技术水平越来越高,产品质量得到大幅度改善。通常,某一产品不可能由一个企业从最初的原材料开始加工直至形成顾客最终使用的产品,往往是通过多个企业分工协作来完成.另外,先进生产方式的广泛应用,如准时生产、敏捷制造、零库存等,使企业与供应商的关系愈加紧密,企业与供应商的关系也由单纯的买卖关系向互利共底的合作关系演变。 ISO 9000族标准自1987年诞生以来受到了世界各国的一致追捧,全球约50多万家企业通过ISO9001质量管理体系认证足以说明这套管理标准在引领国际管理潮流方面的巨大成功。在备受企业欢迎的新版标准ISO9000:2000中,互利的供应商关系被作为八项质量管理原则之一,充分体现了供应商关系管理在企业经营实践中的作用和价值。企业要贯彻这一原则,就必须

Can be used for the biological characteristics of biological recognition, fingerprint, hand type face, iris, retina, pulse, ear etc.. Behavior has the following characteristics: signature, voice, gait, etc.. Based on these characteristics, it has been the development of hand shape recognition, fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris recognition, signature recognition and other biometric technology, many techniques have been formed and mature to application of. Biological recognition technology in a , has a long history, the ancient Egyptians through identification of each part of the body size measure to carry out identity may be the earliest human based on the earliest history of biometrics. But the modern biological recognition technology began in twentieth Century 70 time metaphase, as biometric devices early is relatively expensive, so only a higher security level atomic test, production base.due to declining cost of microprocessor and various electronic components, precision gradually improve, control device of a biological recognition technology has been gradually applied to commerce authorized, such as access control, attendance management, management system, safety certification field etc.. All biometric technology, iris recognition is currently used as a convenient and accurate.

互联网公司如何进行研发管理和绩效考核

首先,画一下我们通常讲研发管理的范畴:确定如何立项,如何确定产品目标,如何把控项目进度,如何驱动产品一代代完善以及如何调动团队积极性等。 在时间周期上来说,我们归纳为5个关键步骤:选方向、定目标、控进度、带团队和排干扰。相配套的,则是在这五个关键步骤的一些流程和工具的使用。 一、高效研发的5个关键步骤 第一步:立项——定方向 在豌豆荚的整个研发过程中,立项称为ProductBrief或者Project Brief。团队的产品经理会撰写一个1-2页的文档,然后和执行团队进行评审,如果评审通过,立项就成功了。文档一般包含会包含以下内容: 1. 愿景:一句话表达清楚要做什么; 2. 分析市场机会和趋势,决定当前策略; 3. 确定目标用户的特征和核心需求; 4. 现存的解决方案和各自的优劣势; 5. 该项目对豌豆荚的利益点;如果不做该项目,哪些竞争对手会做,对竞争对手的利益点; 6. 需要哪些技术的支持和驱动,哪些技术是豌豆荚的弱项; 7. 人力需求; 8. 项目的紧急程度,是否需要快速推进; 9. 发布策略; 10.核心衡量指标,用来衡量成功的指标。 第二步,OKR 体系——定目标 对一个项目来说,设定目标是非常重要的,因为这决定了如何去做,以及能做到何种程度。豌豆荚采纳的目标管理是从 Google 引进的 OKR 体系(Objectives& Key Results,目标与关键成果),这跟传统的 KPI(Key Performance Indicator,关键绩效考核)稍微有些区别: 1. OKR 首先是沟通工具:豌豆荚共有 300 多人,每个人都要写 OKR。为了便于沟通,所有这些OKR都会放在一个文档里。任何员工都可以看到 CEO 的这个季度最重要的目标是

绩效考核外文文献及翻译

绩效考核外文文献及翻译 外文文献 1.Performance appraisals - purpose and how to make it easier Performance appraisals are essential for the effective management and evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve organizational performance, and feed into business planning. Formal performance appraisals are generally conducted annually for all staff in the organization. His or her line manager appraises each staff member. Directors are appraised by the CEO, who is appraised by the chairman or company owners, depending on the size and structure of the organization. Annual performance appraisals enable management and monitoring of standards, agreeing expectations and objectives, and delegation of responsibilities and tasks. Staff performance appraisals also establish individual training needs and enable organizational training needs analysis and planning. Performance appraisals also typically feed into organizational annual pay and grading reviews, which commonly also coincide with the business planning for the next trading year. Performance appraisals generally review each individual's performance against objectives and standards for the trading year, agreed at the previous appraisal meeting. Performance appraisals are also essential for career and succession planning - for individuals, crucial jobs, and for the organization as a whole. Performance appraisals are important for staff motivation, attitude and behavior development, communicating and aligning individual and organizational aims, and fostering positive relationships between management and staff. Performance appraisals provide a formal, recorded, regular review of an individual's performance, and a plan for future development. Job performance appraisals - in whatever form they take - are therefore vital for managing the performance of people and organizations. Managers and appraises commonly dislike appraisals and try to avoid them. To these people the appraisal is daunting and time-consuming. The process is seen as a difficult administrative chore and emotionally challenging. The annual appraisal is maybe the only time since last year that the two people have sat down together for a meaningful one-to-one discussion. No wonder then that appraisals are stressful - which then defeats the whole purpose. Appraisals are much easier, and especially more relaxed, if the boss meets each of the team members individually and regularly for one-to-one discussion throughout the year. Meaningful regular discussion about work, career, aims, progress, development, hopes and dreams, life, the universe, the TV, common interests, etc., whatever, makes appraisals so much easier because people then know and trust each other - which reduces all the stress and the uncertainty. Put off discussions and of course they loom very large. So don't wait for the annual appraisal to sit down and talk. The boss or the appraises can instigate this. If you are an employee with a shy boss, then take the lead. If you are a boss who rarely sits down and talks with people - or whose people are not used to talking with their boss - then set about relaxing the atmosphere and improving relationships. Appraisals (and work) all tend to be easier when people communicate well and know each other. So sit down together and talk as often as you can, and then when the actual formal appraisals are due everyone will find the whole process to be far more natural, quick, and easy - and a lot more productive too. 2.Appraisals, social responsibility and whole-person development There is increasingly a need for performance appraisals of staff and especially managers, directors and CEO's, to include accountabilities relating to corporate responsibility, represented by various converging corporate responsibility concepts including: the “Triple Bottom Line”; c orporate social responsibility (CSR); Sustainability; corporate integrity and ethics; Fair Trade, etc. The organization must decide the extent to which these accountabilities are reflected in job responsibilities, which would then
