WHAT IS KPI?
KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator.
Also known as performance metrices and performance
measuring tools.
KPIs are the primary parameters by which performance of a
business is assessed. These parameters are defined and
measured periodically (monthly or yearly) depending on the
KPI needs.
By measuring KPIs, performance benchmarking can be set
on different improvement parameters.
For a garment manufacturing unit, monthly revenue,
monthly production volume, shop floor productivity,
defective percentage, fabric utilization% are few examples
of the KPIs.
Let’s say, Sewing floor efficiency of a factory is 55%. This
indicates that there are lot of scope in improving factory’s
performance. You can set a target for achieving 90% line
efficiency in future.

IMPORTANCE OF MEASURING
KPI
As a factory manager or a business head of a garment
production unit, one should know the performance level
of its various departments or in various processes.
Well defined KPIs and KPI results show the factory’s
performance level
Measuring KPIs is the first step to start any project on
process improvement. The baseline assessment is done
through measuring the KPIs.
Department and individual employees can assess their
performance by measuring the departmental KPIs.
