Evaluation Plan

Introduction

This Evaluation Plan aims to establish the in-depth knowledge and criteria about the procedures to follow in the process. First of all, there will be separate evaluation committee being formed to appraise the implementation and performance of the pilot project. I have discussed the evaluation procedures first and then I will explore the competencies and feasibility of the proposal (Muller et.al, 2006).

Evaluation Methods

Fixing Benchmarks of Performance

This is a viable process in which organizations tend to discuss among the concerning parties to gauge the expected outcome and make it a benchmark. The organization collectively has to achieve the benchmark. It is more like setting targets to achieve prior to executing the plan. Here the questions arise about how to set the benchmark, what to set and to present them to the people involving in the procedure. To gauge appropriate benchmark performance, it is imperative to find all special requirements to carry out certain list of tasks. The key performance indicators which tend to best recognize and present the special requisite will have to undergo the evaluation process. Organizations normally use both type of criteria, qualitative and quantitative. This helps them to reach upon true assessment of performance. Quantitative Standards address the finding of total net profit, return on investment, per share earnings, total costs of production, comprehensive turnover rate of workers. On the other hand, qualitative standardize the subjective evaluation of elements like skills and aptitude, potential risk, etc. (Williams et.al, 2007).

Measurement of Performance

Measurement of performance becomes easy when you have the criteria with specific benchmark. The comparison between the set benchmark and actual performance gives the difference which is actual measurement. In case of qualitative criteria reporting and communication system facilitates the evaluation of the performance. If the organizations have suitable tools and means to measure performance along with the set standards, the strategy for evaluation process becomes easier. Besides, there are subjective and biased factors that hinder to collect fair evaluation like managers' contribution. The same way, it is not easy to measure divisional performance as compared to individual's performance. Allocating certain variables to factors helps in the process of measurement. Execution of measurement process should take place on the right time else the entire evaluation process will fail. In the scenario financial aspect will also come into play (Perker & Harding, 2003).

Analyzing Variance

Variance is the difference between the expected performance and the actual one. The evaluators will have to set aside suitable portion of variance in order to analyze it. The planned strategies have to present the extent of required tolerance limits between the decided variance in between which ...
