In my article on the Role of Finance,I have included a topic on Targeted Performance Management (TPM).
By setting targets to the credit personnel employee,this will directly enable the objectives of the company to be achieved. The employee himself/herself will have a better focus and knows exactly what Managements wants from him/her and others.
The below suggest at least those KPA and KPI which you should put up in the TPM Worksheet of the Credit manager:
| KPA | KPI | Comments | |
| 1 | Accounts Receivable Management | Ageing % · To reduce the debts ageing % >120-day from the current of 25% to 5% by the end of Qtr 4 ‘2006.DSO ·To achieve a DSO of 90-day as at the end of Qtr 4’2006 Aged analysis of Overdues:
Overdues as a % of Total debtors,
Disputed Debts (including Debit notes ) as a % of Total debtors
| Out Performance- <3% of total amount Exceeded Expectation– 3% –5% of total amount Met Expectation– 5% of total amount Below Expectation– 5.01% –20% of total amount Inadequate Performance- >20% of total amount Out Performance –<75 days Exceeded Expectation – 75 days to 89.99 days Met Expectation –95 days Below Expectation – 95.1 days to 115 days Inadequate Performance –>115 days |
