Design and Implementation of a Performance Measurement System in the Civil Engineering Design Section: A Case Study

Abstract

The design section is responsible for designing projects for completion by contract, overseeing designs done by architect-engineer firms or the Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Performance is important in any organization with this large of an impact. That performance should constantly be improved. Before performance can be improved it must be accurately measured. The literature available suggests that accurately measure the performance of engineers, one must first identify key dimensions of performance which, when accomplished, will assure effectiveness. After effectiveness has been assured, then efficiency, productivity and quality need to be measured. Together these four things give a picture of performance. Keywords: Performance, Productivity, Design, Civil Engineering, Theses.
