Description by authors:
Activity Based Management (ABM) provides a window to peep into the way activities in an organization have been taking place. This is turn opens up innumerable opportunities to ‘lower down the costs’ being incurred by way of infusion of resources. In this regard, BSC exists to provide a device for ensuring that the process occurs in ‘expected’ manner.
The various perspectives that can help are- ‘% decrease in consumption of resources’, ‘process cost drop’, ‘% of products meeting the minimum profit level’ and ‘increase in net margins’ for knowing the Financial Standing of the organization.
Customer profitability can be obtained with metrics like ‘successful strategy index’, ‘strategy execution ratio’, ‘fraction of customer base labelled profitable’ and ‘customer base rise ratio’.
