In this report we have analyzed the causes of job failures and also listed techniques which can be applied to reduce same so as to improve operational performance of jobs. Note that this list is not prioritized. Some of the techniques may work in one instance, while others could be applied better in another situation.

IntroductionIntroduction

It’s estimated that jobs failures cost the global
economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually
(if not a trillion dollars).

In a business or other organization, the
monitoring and evaluation system determines
whether the organization is using its resources
efficiently and effectively.

Having a good monitoring and evaluation system
starts with developing the system that's most
appropriate for your organization.

Without project monitoring, organizations may fail
to understand why projects go awry, and even
successful projects may have insufficient impact.

Operational Performance and
Failure Analysis
 Evaluate:Evaluate: involved
making a judgement
about progress and
impact.
 Monitor:Monitor: involveinvolve regular
collection and occasional
analysis of information to
identify and possibly measure
changes over a period.

5. Monitoring & EvaluationMonitoring & Evaluation
Monitoring Evaluation
 Observed, check
 Record, account
 Day-to-day decisions
 Provide information for
evaluation
Why  Judge, and value
 Assess
 Major decisions
 Provide information for
planning
 During implementation
 Continuous
When  Before and after
 Periodic

What to monitor?
 Number of jobs without failures vs.
number of jobs with failure
 Monitoring of time lost on jobs and
how to reduce same
 Monitoring of the impact of failures
and how to reduce same
 Efficiency monitoring: hours/typical
jobs
 Analysis of cause of failures and
finding ways to reduce same

7. 77
Project Monitoring Process
 Begin with a plan for
project monitoring.
 Report to management.
 Recommend actions to
improve on the project.
 Confirmthat actions are
being followed.

ConclusionConclusion
We’ve pointed out 10 areas to
examine if you're behind schedule.
Obviously, one solution is just to
deliver the work at a later date. In
some cases, that may be perfectly
acceptable. However, the
assumption here is that the
scheduled completion date is
important to the client. Some of
these techniques don't require any
incremental budget. You should
look at them first, if possible.

RecommendationsRecommendations
There should be:
No activities without records
No records without analysis
No analysis without learning
No learning without action
