The Study of Productivity Measurement and Incentive Methodology
Abstract
Phase IV is part of a five-phase study to identify and develop productivity measurement models and methodologies. Phase I research identified and described current productivity measurement practices in the defense contractor community. The Phase II research developed a taxonomy of productivity measurement theories and techniques. Phase III, The Study of Productivity Measurement and Incentive Methodology involved a paper test of three measurement models identified in Phase II: the Multi-Factor Productivity Measurement Model (MFPMM), the Discounted Cash Flow/Shared Savings Approach (DCF/SSA), and Price Waterhouse's Cost Definition/Automated Cost Baseline Generator CDEF/ACBG. The Phase III paper test evaluated the models against several factors: Ease of use; Data availability; Measurement ability; Focus/purpose; Implementation cost; Applicability; User interfaces; and Flexibility.
