What best describes Performance Measures?

Performance Measures in Facility Management (FM) refer to the systematic assessment of operational efficiency, service quality, and goal achievement. Option C correctly defines performance measures as parameters and metrics used to evaluate objectives against actual performance and goals.

Why Option C is Correct?

Performance measurement in FM involves setting objectives, defining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and comparing actual performance against these benchmarks.

It allows FM professionals to assess the effectiveness of facility operations, maintenance, and service delivery.

This aligns with IFMA’s Quality Core Competency, ensuring continuous improvement and service optimization in FM.

Common performance metrics include response times, service uptime, cost efficiency, sustainability benchmarks, and compliance rates.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option A (Performance indicators including metrics and drivers that achieve a given outcome): While it touches on metrics and drivers, it does not clearly define the process of evaluating objectives against actual results, which is essential in Performance Management.

Option B (Pre-determined set of performance indicators and actual results): This focuses on predefined metrics but does not explain how performance is evaluated against business goals, which is crucial for FM effectiveness.
