Procurement Management KPIs for the Mining Engineering Services Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Employee Training Rate and Labor Utilization. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Qualifications and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee Training Rate |
|
Number of employees that undergo evaluation Number of employees that pass evaluation |
The employee training rate represents the share of employees a company is able to successfully train. The employee training rate can be used to determine a company’s ability to train quality employees. It can also be used to determine a company’s ability to familiarize and adapt its employee base to shifting market conditions. |
| Labor Utilization |
|
Number of billable hours Total working hours per week |
The labor utilization rate measures how effectively and efficiently the firm utilizes its labor resources. A firm with a low labor utilization rate is likely spending unnecessary time dealing with administrative tasks or activities not related to the buyer's project. |
