Creating Activity Based
Management (ABM)

 

 

 

ABM is the use of metrics in the long-term management of productivity, costs, margins, and the positioning and consumption of both labor and technology resources. Most companies have struggled to go beyond the basic ad hoc use of metrics, while leading companies have developed ABM as part of the on-going management process.

 

 

Productivity Management

Most companies would like to improve productivity but have not developed a clear view of what it is or how to measure it.  Our clients have adopted the view that productivity is the combination of efficiency and effectiveness.  Both can be measured and managed very clearly.  We can articulate a vision that supports the long term management of productivity.

Efficiency and Effectiveness

It’s effective to kill ants with a sledge hammer: it’s just not very efficient.  Effectiveness is the measure of whether you have achieved your goals (Did you kill the ants?).  Efficiency is the measure of how you went about it (Could you have used another method?).  We can show you how to cost effectively develop metrics that support your measurement and management of productivity.

Target Re-engineering

Global re-engineering addresses all facets of the business being studied (and takes the most time and effort).  Target re-engineering specifically guides your resources to areas within a department where re-engineering can generate the highest return on investment.  Let us show you how to maximize your re-engineering efforts and generate real improvements in net income.
