7. Productivity
Productivity or the product performance is measured as a ratio of outputs that
customers obtain from a product, relative to inputs that customers have to
spend for purchasing and using the product. The output side is modeled by a
set of customer relevant parameters such as technical performance attributes,
but also non functional benefits and brand strengths. The output side reflects
user costs. Using a super efficiency model it is possible to differentiate the
efficient products. Thus productivity is a function of efficient products. Equips
standardizes this dependent function.
Quality
The quality paradigm has assumed great importance in modern day business
scenario. Management of quality in a project entails detecting and fixing errors
in different work process encompassing the project. Quality planning, quality
assurance, and quality control are different processes involved in project quality
management. The main benefit of measuring quality in marketing programs and
processes is the ability to garner actionable intelligence which can be used to
optimize, or improve, performance and processes. As data is analyzed and
insights generated possibilities of improvement are presented in many areas.
