A questionnaire, sent out to a sample of New Zealand manufacturing companies, was used to determine the current state of performance measurement systems in New Zealand. More specifically, manufacturers New Zealand wide were asked to what extent they used various performance measures, whether they had a performance measurement system in place and if so, what type and whether or not they had an enterprise planning system or any information system to support their PMS. The study also ascertained the manufacturers view on the topics of linking performance measures to staff compensation, and whether there had been cost savings and/or improvements in revenue generation as a result of PMS.
