Key Performance Index (KPI)

Key Performance Indicators have recently been introduced to BEC as a means to help measure the efficiency, effectiveness, productivity and sustainability of the Unit and its work. Data is generated to provide KPI indicators that demonstrate effectiveness in research and development work. This includes amount and source of research funding, contract research and number of publications, which better helps to show the efficient use of research funds per Full Time Equivalence (FTE) Ph.D. research staff and publications per FTE Ph.D. research staff, although it should be emphasized that BEC is not a publications-driven research unit. Performance indicators such as total income per total salary and number of M.Sc./Ph.D. students per FTE Ph.D. research staff are also used to measure the productivity and sustainability of the Unit.
