Abstract. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical issues of determining the effectiveness of state higher educational institutions of Ukraine and the development of theoretical and methodological principles, as well as general methodological approaches to its evaluation. To implement it, the authors formed and proposed a supplement to the thesaurus of management of the concept of «key performance indicators» (Key Efficacy Indicators, KEI), which, in the context of the object of study, is proposed to understand a set of numerical indicators of public higher education. nature, which are the central element of the system of evaluation of its activities in terms of its effectiveness and efficiency in order to achieve certain goals of the state institution of higher education. In order to form a stable basis of the evaluation methodology, a classification of key performance indicators was formed according to 16 features, according to which the corresponding groups were identified and their characteristics were given. The outline of the methodology is based on the basic classification features of key performance indicators, in particular by: types (efficiency and effectiveness), degree of importance (major and minor) and areas of coverage (educational, research, financial, contingent, infrastructure, socio-ethical); it provides for the final definition of an integrated key performance indicator through the sum of complex indicators of efficiency and effectiveness or the sum of complex indicators of educational, research, financial, socio-ethical spheres, as well as areas of contingent and infrastructure. The final formation of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of state institutions of higher education will optimally and deeply assess the activities of these entities, which will contribute to the actual implementation of all management functions in time and space to fulfill their mission, objectives and development goals. Keywords: key performance indicators, key еfficacy indicators, effectiveness, efficiency, public higher education institutions.

This project simulates the flow of pilgrims when they travel from Arafat to Muzdalifah. The system includes the roads network that connects Arafat to Muzdalifah, which is represented as a queuing system with different queue measurements that simulate reality. The system also includes different types of transportation, such as small and large buses and trains, all of which are represented as objects with different size and colors. All system objects carry specifications as their corresponding source system objects, and these specifications are based on data collected by the Ministry of Hajj. The primary objective of the system is to answer “what if” questions to support decision making to optimize Hajj traffic, which can be achieved by manipulating the system’s variables and then by observing the key performance indicators of the system. The system presents the experimental results as visual feedback alongside written reports with statistics and illustrations.

Broader understanding of waste management has the potential to bring about broad societal change impacting the climate crisis and public health. We present existing waste management tools and commercially-available games involving waste management, highlighting the strengths and opportunities left unaddressed by these tools in educational contexts and planning use cases. A survey motivates the need for enhanced interactive tools providing clear feedback through quick-visibility performance indicators. After identifying an opportunity to build upon highly-detailed multi-criteria simulation tools, we explore the need for easy-to-read performance metrics that will bring to the field of waste management easily identifiable and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) that vary alongside factors affecting waste management policies. Such metrics are introduced and detailed as part of a unified waste management model. We then develop a representative gamified educational tool based upon this model to be used by students, decision makers planning real-world policies, and the public. This simulator is built upon the Unity Game Engine and emulates waste management techniques and resulting KPIs within the context of a virtual city.

Resumo: A utilização de ferramentas de monitoramento, controle e análise de desempenho estão cada vez mais evidentes e necessárias, principalmente ao analisar a situação do cenário econômico e competitivo em que as organizações estão se deparando. No terceiro setor o cenário não é diferente, ao mesmo passo que as organizações crescem, a competitividade e a necessidade de evolução são latentes. Nesse contexto, unindo a necessidade de criar ferramentas de controle e a complexidade do terceiro setor, nesta pesquisa teve-se como objetivo compreender quais indicadores de desempenho são utilizados por uma entidade sindical, e de que forma eles auxiliam na gestão dessas entidades. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória, utilizando como procedimento entrevista com quatro gestores da entidade sindical. Os resultados evidenciaram que a avaliação de desempenho faz parte da cultura organizacional do sindicato, utilizando ferramentas como: planejamento estratégico, participação em programas de qualidade do segmento e indicadores de desempenho. Todos os departamentos pesquisados utilizam indicadores de desempenho, com medições distribuídas entre: semestrais e anuais, com divulgações que são realizadas por meio de relatórios e reuniões. A opinião dos entrevistados é uniforme ao considerar a relevância da utilização dos indicadores, assim como a aderência ao conceito de ferramenta de gestão para o terceiro setor.Palavras-chave: Indicadores de desempenho.

Indicadores. Key performance indicators as a management tool in the third sector: a practical case applied to a trade union Abstract: The use of monitoring, control and performance analysis tools are becoming more evident and necessary, especially when analyzing the economic and competitive scenario that companies are facing. This scenario is no different in the third sector: while organizations grow, competitiveness and the need for evolution become latent. In this context, bringing together the need to create control tools and the complexity of the third sector, this research aims to understand which key performance indicators are used by a union, and how they assist in the management of these entities. To this end, exploratory research was carried out using interviews with four trade union managers. The results revealed that performance evaluation is part of the union’s organizational culture, by using tools such as strategic planning, participation in the sector’s quality programs, and key performance indicators. All the departments surveyed use key performance indicators, with semiannual and annual measurements, and disclosures that occur by means of reports and meetings. The opinion of the interviewees is always equal concerning the relevance of the use of indicators, as well as adherence to the concept of management tools for the third sector.Keywords: Key performance indicators.
