Setting KRAs and KPIs in a New Manufacturing Role: How Do I Start?

Dear All,

I have recently joined a manufacturing company. Now, I have to set KRA-KPI - roles, responsibilities, and measuring performance for achievement for each and every department for performance appraisal.

Please help me with a roles and responsibilities sheet.

You have not provided complete information about yourself. What is your designation? What is the nature of your company's business? Simply stating that it is a manufacturing company is not sufficient. Steel manufacturing, garment manufacturing, and a company that manufactures FMCG products each have different dynamics.

You mentioned wanting to set KPIs and KRAs for each department. Do you have knowledge of each department to do this effectively?

In any case, I previously responded to a post regarding training on KPIs and KRAs for a leather manufacturing company. You can refer to it by clicking the following link: <link no longer exists - removed>

Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar

Thank you for your help!

I have recently taken on the role of HR Manager at a Packaging Manufacturing company. If you have the time, I would appreciate your assistance.

Setting Effective Benchmarks

Fixing benchmarks is not a theoretical issue. If you don't know anything about a job, time factors, or the effects of environments, atmosphere, and seasonal changes on the working capacities of performers, you should take a practical approach. Instead of relying solely on theory, it is better to involve knowledgeable personnel from the concerned units to gain firsthand knowledge about their working styles, challenges, and obstacles in performance.

Get averages of the results of performance made by the employees. Only then should you set benchmarks for the workers.
