This article explores the need to establish an engineering maintenance management system and presents a case study of the same at Minera San Cristobal S.A. (MSC), a Bolivian mining company owned by Sumitomo Corp. Plant operational reliability elements are design, equipment, processes, and people. The company developed a format for maintenance management key performance indicators; for instance, comparing scheduled and unscheduled work orders or equipment availability vs. operational availability. These helped in measuring the performance of the equipment on which preventive maintenance had been performed. Within a short period of time, MSC has shown remarkable improvement. Early in 2009, the company had faced bankruptcy, and has now returned to profitability. The establishment of an engineering maintenance management system has produced change and growth, has raised the company’s standards, and has advanced MSC toward its goal to become a world-class company.

SQL Server Reporting Services is a way to analyze data, create reports using the indicators and gauges. Indicators are minimal gauges that convey the state of a single data value at a glance, and most are used to represent the state of Key Performance Indicators. Manage and harmonize the performance of an institution's educational institutions, especially universities with the performance of individuals or resources, no doubt is one of the essential elements for the success of an entity of the institution. Integrate the performance of an educational institution with individual performance is not an easy process, and therefore required a systematic approach to manage it. Implementation of a strategic management system based Balanced Scorecard can be used as a performance measurement system that will continuously monitor the successful implementation of the strategy of any public educational institution and measure the performance of its resources in a comprehensive and balanced, not the quantity but the emphasis is more concerned with the quality, so the performance of educational institutions at any time can be known clearly. Contribution of Key Performance Indicators to manage and harmonize the performance of any public institution is a solution in providing information to realize the extent of work that has set targets, identify and monitor measures of success, of course, with performance indicators show a clear, specific and measurable.

Measuring innovation is a challenging but essential task to improve business performance. To tackle this task, key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to measure and monitor innovation. The objective of this study is to explore how KPIs, designed for measuring innovation, are used in practice. To achieve this objective, the author draws upon literature on business performance in accounting and innovation, yet moves away from the functional view. Instead, the author focuses explicitly on how organizational members, through their use of KPIs in innovation, make sense of conflicting interpretations and integrate them into their practices. A qualitative in-depth case study was conducted at the innovation department of an organization in the process industry that operates production sites and sales organizations worldwide. In total, 28 interviews and complementary observations were undertaken at several organizational levels (multi-level). The empirical evidence suggests that strategic change, attributed to commoditization, affects the predetermined KPIs in use. Notably, these KPIs in innovation are used, despite their poor fit to innovation subject to commoditization. From a relational perspective, this study indicates that in innovation, KPIs are usually complemented by or supplemented with other information, as stand-alone KPIs exhibit a significant degree of incompleteness. In contrast to conventional studies in innovation and management accounting, this study explores the use of key performance indicators (KPIs) in innovation from an interpretative perspective. This perspective advances our understanding of the actual use of KPIs and uncovers the complexity of accounting and innovation, which involve numerous angles and organizational levels. Practically, the findings of this study will inform managers in innovation about the use of KPIs in innovation and the challenges individual organizational members face when using them. In innovation, KPIs appear to be subjective and used in unintended ways. Thus, understanding how KPIs are used in innovation is a game of reading between the lines, and these KPIs can be regarded as misfits.

Introduction. For economic security and stability of the enterprise is an important topic of research and identification of ways to manage receivables and payables. A significant contribution to solving the problems of theoretical and practical aspects of receivables management of enterprises was made by such domestic scientists as O. Lishchenko, I. Sereda, О. Pustiak, Y. Demchenko, O. Rybalko, M Sychova, N. Sirenko, O. Smirnova et.al. However, the multifaceted nature of the problem requires further research on the theoretical and methodological foundations of ensuring the formation and functioning of an effective management system of receivables of the enterprise. The purpose of the work is in the researching and studying the management system of receivables and payables at the enterprise. Results. However, opinions on the direct organization of debt management of the enterprise are quite different. The model of receivables management, according to O. Lishchenko, I. Sereda, includes five elements. While O. Pustiak and Y. Demchenko believes that the algorithm for managing the company's calculations for goods, works and services includes as many as eight stages. Thus, according to O. Rybalko and M. Sychova, the receivables management algorithm should include seven stages. In turn, the model of accounts payable management according to N. Sirenko and O. Smirnova includes only three elements. However, as we can see from the above information, most authors forget that in the debt management system one of the important stages is their relationship with the basic goals and key performance indicators of enterprises, as well as with the conditions of business. In this case, if the consideration of the basic objectives in one way or another can still be found in the proposed algorithms for debt management of the enterprise, then taking into account the conditions of development of macro- and mesoenvironment of the enterprise is not carried out. Conclusion. Thus, the development of management decisions to optimize the level of receivables and payables should be preceded not only by an analysis of the conditions of existence of the enterprise, but also an assessment of the level of manageability of the debt itself. At the same time, at high and medium levels of management, the company's management should use incentives to reduce the level of debt of the company, while at low and insufficient – mostly “heavy”.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a model that can measure the equipment maintenance performance of the energy company K-company. Design/methodology/approach The case study method was adopted for the investigation of maintenance performance indicators (MPIs). The development of a model for measuring maintenance performance suggested new ways to apply the methodologies of existing papers to evaluate the level of maintenance. Findings Maintenance indicators, which are managed differently for each plant, were assessed for their performance relevance, applicability and data reliability and then standardized into five key MPIs. The MPI model, which enables comprehensive and quantitative measurement of maintenance performance using the five selected MPIs, was presented, and the criteria for assessing the maintenance level were presented in five stages. Practical implications The authors selected MPIs that match the characteristics of the company and proposed a model that can comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate maintenance performance. The model also standardizes maintenance indicators that are individually managed and provides a basis for comparing and indexing the level of maintenance indicators at each plant. Originality/value The criterion for selecting the key MPIs considering the characteristics of the company and a model that can comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate maintenance performance were presented. In addition, a standard for evaluating the level of maintenance at the global level of maintenance management was suggested.

This case study reviews the process that the City of Naperville Information Technology Department undertook to implement a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for the city’s Department of Public Utilities–Water. A CMMS is a software system for managing infrastructure with tools for creating and tracking maintenance activities associated with physical assets. Typical requirements for a CMMS include the ability to handle requests for service, process work orders, plan preventive maintenance, provide for tests and inspections, and enable ad hoc searching and reporting. The software that the Naperville Water Utility chose for a CMMS was selected for its tight integration with its Geographic Information System (GIS), the computerized mapping database that contained a spatial model of the department’s water distribution and wastewater collection assets. Many of the challenges that the IT Department had in implementing the CMMS related to issues with the GIS data. In addition, several of the city’s ?nancial systems, such as accounting, utility billing, customer information systems, and inventory required integration with the CMMS. The case study will cover the complexities of integration with these disparate data sources that have both a technical and organizational basis. Finally, as with all implementations of software systems, the element of organizational change needed to be addressed. For that reason, business process mapping and re-engineering practices were employed to support the deployment of the software.

This chapter is a case study of how a polytechnic developed a strategic plan for e-learning. It describes the institution’s rationale for moving more strongly into e-learning, the processes followed by the institution to develop a plan and ensure its acceptance through the institutional community, and the factors that facilitated the process. It indicates that attention to objectives, core values and principles, and faculty development and training, are critical for the successful transition from mainly face-to-face teaching to e-learning. The development of key performance indicators will allow the success of the plan to be measured in 2010.
