INDEKS PRESTASI UTAMA (Key Performance Indicators - KPI/IPU )
UNTUK SEKTOR PEMBINAAN
April, 2006 – Kajian : Nik Zafri Abdul Majid
Sebarang penyalinan, penggunaan, muaturun, cetakan, applikasi, rujukan kepada artikel ini dalam apa juga bentuk sekalipun perlu mendapat kebenaran pengarang terlebih dahulu. Pengarang tidak bertanggungjawab sekiranya mana-mana panduan yang diambil dari artikel ini gagal diaplikasikan oleh kontraktor dan klien tanpa merujuk kepada pengarang atau mana-mana perunding projek dan pengurusan yang bertauliah terlebih dahulu.

Dalam sektor pembinaan, klien memerlukan setiap projek disudahkan berasaskan elemen-elemen berikut :

* masa dan belanjawan yang ditetapkan,
* tanpa sebarang kerosakan,
* efisien
* spesifikasi yang ditetapkan,
* selamat dan berkualiti,
* dibekalkan oleh sebuah syarikat/kontraktor yang berwibawa (dari segi kewangan dan pengurusan)

Klien yang telah mempunyai track record dengan kontraktor yang sama mengharapkan pengurangan dalam kos dan masa projek.

Tujuan adanya Indeks Prestasi Utama (KPI/IPU) adalah untuk memastikan satu bentuk ukuran diwujudkan ke atas prestasi projek dan kontraktor yang menjalankan operasi pembinaan. Maklumat ini akan digunakan sebagai tandaras yang akan menjadi komponen utama sesebuah organisasi bagi mencapai konsep amalan terbaik.

Klien biasanya akan menilai kesesuaian kontraktor dengan sesebuah projek yang dijalankan dengan meminta kontraktor supaya membekalkan maklumat bagaimana mereka dapat menunjukkan prestasi mengikut petunjuk-petunjuk yang telah ditetapkan oleh klien.

Sesetengan maklumat ini boleh didapati daripada kontraktor yang telah pun menjalankan inisiatif penandarasan atau objektif organisasi yang telah diukur dan lain-lain. Maklumat ini akan menentukan kekuatan dan kelemahan sesebuah organisasi/kontraktor dan rancangan untuk meningkatkan lagi mutu perkhidmatan mereka secara berterusan.

IPU/KPI untuk sektor pembinaan perlu mengambilkira elemen-elemen seperti, masa, kos, kualiti, kepuasan klien, pindaan kerja yang dilakukan oleh klien, prestasi perniagaan dan keselamatan kerja.

Terdapat pelbagai petunjuk yang digunakan bagi tujuan analisa samada di peringkat projek atau di peringkat organisasi/kontraktor itu sendiri. Sebelum mendefinisikan IPU/KPI, 5 peringkat utama perlu dikenalpasi iaitu :

* Kesanggupan untuk melabur oleh klien di mana syarat dan keperluan perniagaan serta rekabentuk konsep akan bermula,

* Kesanggupan untuk membina bila masa klien telah mengarahkan pasukan projek memulakan operasi,

* Sediada untuk digunakan apabila projek telah disiapkan dan persediaan untuk menggunakannya telah diatur,

* Tempoh Liabiliti Kerosakan di mana kontraktor perlu memperbaik sebarang kerosakan sehingga tempoh ini tamat,

* Kelupusan Jangkahayat Projek – apabila apa yang dibina telah sedia untuk digunakan oleh pengguna.

Sebelum memulakan aktiviti IPU/KPI, jenis projek dan cara ianya dijalankan perlu diambilkira umpamanya ‘Rekabentuk dan Bina’ (D & B), Turnkey, ‘Kejuruteraan, Pembelian, Pembinaan dan Commissioning (EPCC), Inisiatif Pembiayaan Projek (PFI/IPP), Konvensional dan lain-lain.

Antara petunjuk-petunjuk yang biasa digunakan (IPU/KPI untuk sektor pembinaan) pula ialah:

* Masa – Tempoh pembinaan, tempoh ramalan – rekabentuk dan pembinaan, penukaran spesifikasi yang dijangka/tidak dijangka oleh kedua-dua klien/kontraktor dan tempoh membaikpulih kerosakan.

* Kos – kos pembinaan, kos ramalan – rekabentuk dan pembinaan, kos penukaran spesifikasi yang dijangka/tidak dijangka oleh kedua-dua klien/kontraktor, kos membaikpulih kerosakan dan kos semasa.

* Kualiti – kerosakan mengikut tret/kategori/lokasi dan sebagainya – sebelum, semasa dan selepas tempoh pembinaan, isu kualiti secara proaktif dan reaktif,

* Kepuasan Pelanggan – sebelum (pra-tender/kontrak), semasa (operasi/tempoh kontrak/projek) dan selepas (DLP/CPC/CMGD/CF)

* Penukaran Spesifikasi/Kerja (deviation/amendment) – oleh klien dan kontraktor,

* Prestasi Perniagaan – Keuntungan, produktiviti, pulangan modal kerja, pulangan & ratio tambah nilai (value-added), faedah, pulangan pelaburan (ROI), ramalan keuntungan projek, pesanan ulangan (repeat order) dari klien yang sama, baki kewangan dan tempoh capaian akaun penutup (final accounts)

* Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan – Kemalangan, kematian dan kecederaan (accident/incident) yang dilaporkan (termasuk elemen aktuari jika perlu), dan kemalangan/kematian/kecederaan yang melibatkan kerugian tempoh (loss-time injury/accident/incident – LTI)

Nota : Elemen dan petunjuk sebagaimana yang dipaparkan di atas (faktor a. – g.) adalah panduan pengarang semata-mata dan perlu disesuaikan mengikut jenis projek yang dijalankan. Kadangkala tidak kesemua elemen atau petunjuk adalah bersesuaian.

Klien dan kontraktor (termasuk perunding projek – pelbagai tret) perlu mengambilkira elemen/objektif/petunjuk yang dipilih mengikut prioriti/keutamaan pada masa perancangan IPU dimulakan dan jenis peralatan (seperti QCC/MP) yang sesuai.

The Star Global Malaysians Forum : Posted: 12 July 2005 at 10:02pm

What is learning organization?

In Brief :

LO is for organization having interest to sustain their competitive edge/corporate image due to susceptibility to volatile changes around them. Own past experience in building the organization is particularly useful. Focus Area - Human Resources Planning and Management. Objective - to compete 'healthily' in the market, to become a responsible corporate citizen, reaping profit through good HRM.

'Organization having own system, mechanisme and processes to continually improve all levels of the organization to achieve the objective continually'

Tips:

1) Do you feel that your current system is working? If not, improve that first.

2) LO is NOT restricted to training and development only. If you feel that this statement is wrong - then don't embark on LO.

Models

a) Learn the facts, knowledge, processes and procedures,

b) Improve 'competency' at all levels possible,

- be aware of changes around you - be it economy, social, politics, laws, technology, everchanging market or market trends etc.

- be aware of what's going on in your OWN organization - e.g. you want to introduce a new product/services, check your resources and plan properly.

- be aware of the labour market - demographic trends, extension of service, women's participation

Learn how to absorb, classify, prioritize and finally incorporate. Do the right thing the right way.

Consider 'learning curve' trend (e.g. innovations & quality), processes (e.g. interaction + infra, development & management style), tools/techniques/methodology (e.g. QCC tools), competency/motivation (e.g. change management & willingness to learn)

Support

Orientation Programmes, Knowledge Sharing, Commitment to learn & develop, 'Open' management system & learning from experience (empirical)

Keywords

Strategies, competitive analysis, managing information/knowledge, capability profiling (e.g. TNA - Training Needs Analysis and SFM - Skill Flexibility Matrix), cross-functional teams, performance measurement, benchmarking, merit/awards.

How to Start

Top Management Responsibility - resources, tools, machineries, finance etc., Identification of Grey Areas, Committee Set-Up, Initial Evaluation, Unleashing/Maximizing Potentials, New R & D for New Product/Services Development.

Organisational Survey,brainstorming/delphi etc,motivation (inculcate ownership feeling),make good decisions,result oriented,upgrade knowledge,good listener/advisor,leadership (by example),ready to face future challenges.

Take good examples from the past and incorporate into the future or current.

Pitfalls

Blaming culture, punishment better than reward, immobility,don't want to spend money on resources, bureaucracy,too centralized etc
