In the original paper of 1992, Goals and Measures are the only two parameters shown on the scorecard. Since then, it is often seen with the additional two parameters, Targets and Initiatives. 1.3 Background of the current work: In current scenario we see that the Balanced Scorecard the measurement system which is mainly used in the large scale industries. It is one of the most effective measurement systems as compared to other measurement system. At present it is not used in small scale industry but it can be implemented. This project work aims to develop the Balanced Scorecard to the small scale industries under considering the parameters which are related only to the small scale industries.

4.1 Balanced Scorecard: A balanced scorecard is a central list of numbers, which show each key part of an organization's success, such as financials, people, operations, suppliers, customers, and support systems. The numbers should measure not just important outcomes, but also the factors which influence, or drive, those outcomes. 4.2 Characteristics: The core characteristic of the Balanced Scorecard and its derivatives are the presentation of a mixture of financial and operational measures each compared to a 'target' value within a single concise report. The report is not meant to be a replacement for traditional financial or operational reports but a succinct summary that captures the information most relevant to those reading it. It is the methods by which this 'most relevant' information is determined (i.e. the design processes used to select the content) that most differentiates the various versions of the tool in circulation. The first versions of Balanced Scorecard asserted that relevance should derive from the corporate strategy, and proposed design methods that focused on choosing measures and targets associated with the main activities required to implement the strategy. As the initial audiences for this were the readers of the Harvard Business Review, the proposal was translated into a form that made sense to a typical reader of that journal - one relevant to a mid-sized US business. Accordingly, initial designs were encouraged to measure three categories of non-financial measure in addition to financial outputs - those of "Customer," "Internal Business Processes" and "Learning and Growth." Clearly these categories were not so relevant to non-profits or units within complex organizations (which might have high degrees of internal specialization), and much of the early literature on Balanced Scorecard focused on suggestions of alternative 'perspectives' that might have more relevance to these groups. Modern Balanced Scorecard thinking has evolved considerably since the initial ideas proposed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the modern performance management tools including Balanced Scorecard are significantly improved - being more flexible (to suit a wider range of organizational types) and more effective (as design methods have evolved to make them easier to design, and use).

This perspective includes employee training and corporate cultural attitudes related to both individual and corporate self-improvement. In a knowledge-worker organization, people -- the only repository of knowledge -- are the main resource. In the current climate of rapid technological change, it is becoming necessary for knowledge workers to be in a continuous learning mode. Metrics can be put into place to guide managers in focusing training funds where they can help the most. In any case, learning and growth constitute the essential foundation for success of any knowledge-worker organization. Kaplan and Norton emphasize that 'learning' is more than 'training'; it also includes things like mentors and tutors within the organization, as well as that ease of communication among workers that allows them to readily get help on a problem when it is needed. It also includes technological tools; what the Baldrige criteria call "high performance work systems." 4.4.2 The Business Process Perspective:
This perspective refers to internal business processes. Metrics based on this perspective allow the managers to know how well their business is running, and whether its products and services conform to customer requirements (the mission). These metrics have to be carefully designed by those who know these processes most intimately; with our unique missions these are not something that can be developed by outside consultants. 4.4.3 The Customer Perspective: When choosing measures for the Customer perspective of the Scorecard organizations must answer two critical questions: Who are our target customers? And what is our value proposition in serving them? Sounds simple enough, but both questions present many challenges to organizations. Most organizations will state that they do in fact have a target customer audience, yet their actions reveal an all things to all customers strategy. Strategy guru Michael Porter suggests this lack of focus will prevent an organization from differentiating itself from competitors. Choosing an appropriate value proposition poses no less of a challenge to most organizations. Many will choose one of three disciplines articulated by Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersema in The Discipline of Market Leaders. They are:

Constantly innovating, they strive to offer simply the best product in the market. Nike is an example of a product leader in the field of athletic footwear. Customer Intimacy: Doing whatever it takes to provide solutions for unique customers needs help define the customer intimate company. They dont look for one-time transactions, but instead focus on long-term relationship building through their deep knowledge of customer needs. In the retail industry Nordstrom epitomizes the customerintimate organization. 4.4.4 The Financial Perspective:
Kaplan and Norton do not disregard the traditional need for financial data. Timely and accurate funding data will always be a priority, and managers will do whatever necessary to provide it. In fact, often there is more than enough handling and processing of financial data. With the implementation of a corporate database, it is hoped that more of the processing can be centralized and automated. But the point is that the current emphasis on financials leads to the "unbalanced" situation with regard to other perspectives. There is perhaps a need to include additional financial-related data, such as risk assessment and cost-benefit data, in this category. 4.5 How to Measure Small Business Success Effectively: Measuring small business success is by some means a tricky task but it must be carefully planned and executed. What all you have to do is to make use of key performance indicators in order to measure the activities and performance your small scale industry efficiently. In reality, these are measurement tools that will help you to define and measure progress toward the organizational goals and objectives. The amazing thing about KPIs is that these are quantifiable measures. Therefore, they will help small scale industries to reflect their organizational goals and objectives successfully. Further, these can be available in numerous forms or shapes such as business KPI, marketing KPI, and supply chain management KPI. Therefore, they can provide plenteous advantages to the small scale industry for instance timely evaluation of the business staff, customer/employee satisfaction, economies of scale, transparency, immediate assessment of overall business sales and returns, and small scale business identity development.

Nine Steps to Success, is a disciplined, practical approach to developing a strategic planning and management system based on the balanced scorecard. Training is an integral part of the framework, as is coaching, change management, and problem solving. Emphasis is placed on teaching clients to fish, not handing them a fish, so the scorecard system can be sustained. A key benefit of using a disciplined framework is that it gives organizations a way to connect the dots between the various components of strategic planning and management, meaning that there will be a visible connection between the projects and programs that people are working on, the measurements being used to track success, the strategic objectives the organization is trying to accomplish and the mission, vision and strategy of the organization.

Financial Performance In the financial performance the organization can have the following objectives: Increase Revenues Reduce the Transportation cost Operating Improvements
The organization can achieve these objectives by following the specific program suggested in the framework and it can be measured. 1. Increase Revenues To fulfill this objective the following programs should be followed: i. ii. iii. Increase the distribution network Increase the volume of sales Increase market share
And these can be measured or said to be achieved if sales are increased by 25%. Increase the distribution network: Presently the firm has 50 distribution centers that are 50 distributors. By expand the network through entering into new market area will lead to increase in the sales and revenue. Increase the volume of sales: This program states that by increasing the sales volume the revenue can be increased. Sales volume means for the present customers we need to sale more for that we need to create the demand for the product in the market and how to create demand is explained in one of the further program.

To fulfill this objective the following programs should be followed: Use of appropriate vehicles Routing and scheduling Handle optimal Quantity Outsource Reach more customers where the road conditions are good Reduce idle time of vehicle and drivers Transport other materials on return journey Use fuel efficient vehicles Maintaining the schedule of vehicle properly
These all programs will lead to reduce the transportation cost and it can be measured by reducing transportation cost by Re. 0.10 per liter Here use of appropriate vehicles can be explained by the example: If an order of 100 boxes of 1 liter bottles is made by x customer who is 50km away from the factory site. For the transportation if the company uses the vehicle which as the capacity of transporting 200 boxes for the transportation of 100 boxes then the vehicle is underutilized and cost will be more so, they need to use appropriate vehicles. Routing and scheduling means the orders should be transported to many distribution centers at a time. That is before transporting goods we need to check whether any other distribution center has any orders which comes under same rout accordingly we can schedule and transport the goods to the distributors. Handle optimum quantity this program relates to the previous point that is while transporting we need utilize the vehicles appropriately and optimally. Outsource: outsourcing of vehicles is more appropriate because it reduces the maintenance cost, driver cost etc. Reduce the idle time of vehicles and drivers: To use vehicles and driver optimally the transportation of goods should be done at night time that is evening time rest of the morning time

By using economies of scale we can reduce the production cost. Economies of scale state that increasing the production quantity at a time will reduce the cost of production. By using adopting new technologies we can reduce the manpower cost and can invest the same in R & D department and improve the operation. At the end we can measure whether by adopting these programs the operating improvements are achieved or not. The measurement standard took for this is Reduction in the manufacturing cost by 10% 5.4.2 Customer Service: Recent management philosophy has shown an increasing realization of the importance of customer focus and customer satisfaction in any business. These are leading indicators: if customers are not satisfied, they will eventually find other suppliers that will meet their needs. Poor performance from this perspective is thus a leading indicator of future decline, even though the current financial picture may look good. In developing metrics for satisfaction, customers should be analyzed in terms of kinds of customers and the kinds of processes for which we are providing a product or service to those customer groups.

1. Improve service Quality and Value: To achieve this objective the following programs has to be followed: By taking customer feedback every quarterly by Survey method and develop corrective measures Maintain quality standards of ISI
Now-a-days the companies fail to take the customer feedback because they only concentrate on their competitor and try to compete with them without caring what customers need. So we need to concentrate on customer needs by taking their feedback which will also helps to improve the quality. According to ISI there are some specific quality standards which need to be maintained. These can be measured by taking the feedback of the customers. 2. Expand customer base: It is one of the objectives which can be achieved by following the program stated below: Entering into New market area: Entering into new market area means expanding the business that is entering into new market and introducing the product in the market. For this first we need to conduct the market study and make a research on the new market. During this particular target period whether we have entered into new market or can be measured by number of new distributors. 3. Customer Retention: To achieve this objective the following programs has to be followed: By being the price leader By building brand name in the market
BABASAB PATIL
Page 33
Satisfying the customers is the most important job of the company. To check whether the customers are satisfied or not can be evaluated by taking the customers feedback by survey method and identify if any areas are to be improved. We can measure the customer satisfaction by the percentage of customers satisfied with the service. 5.4.3 Internal Process: The internal business process perspective provides a view of what the company must excel at to be competitive. The focus of this perspective then is the translation of customer-based measures into measures reflecting the company's internal operations. The highest level in this measurable should be on customer satisfaction and factors affecting such issues as cycle time, quality, employee skills, and productivity. Kaplan and Norton recommend that, "companies also attempt to identify and measure their company's core competencies, the critical technologies needed to ensure continued market leadership."

1. Analyze customer needs: Fairs and exhibitions means were similar products are exhibited. By attending the fairs and exhibitions we can make the comparative study and can understand customers changing needs through which we can analyze the customers needs. 2. Improve Operational Efficiency: To achieve this objective we need to follow the following programs: Store management EOQ/EPQ (economic order quantity/economic production quantity) Reducing manufacturing cycle time Adoption of New Technology Optimum Utilization of raw material (water) Minimizing the lead time of orders Optimizing the quality standards to get ISO certification
These all programs aim at improving the operational efficiency and all are interlinked to each others. Store management means maintaining the correct stock level which is attained by applying the EOQ (economic order quantity).

1. Employee satisfaction: For every organization employees are the back bones. Company should satisfy the employees first are also known as internal customer if they are satisfied then organization will run smoothly. Every monthly we need to take feedback from the employees so that we can identify their needs and try to satisfy them. In the same way we need to provide recreation activities for their refreshment. This will motivate the employees and we can measure the percentage of employees satisfied in the organization by feedback system. 2. Training Employee: Work efficiency of the employees can measure by their performance. To improve the work efficiency we need to provide training on different aspect like safety and hygiene. Here in this organization hygiene part is most important.

BALANCED SCORECARD FOR SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY CHAPTER VI FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
6.1 Major Findings: Balanced Scorecard is a measurement tool. It can be adopted even for small scale industries M/s. Deepa Aqua Minerals presently it is not following any strategic planning or mapping. But it needs to have them because those will direct the organization to go in a right direction and helps in achieving the goals of the organization M/s. Deepa Aqua Minerals follows democratic style of leadership In this organization Quality, Employees and Society are given importance Major Key Performing Areas (Objectives) have been indentified and programs are been developed to implement. Based on past records following details are calculated during the research work: Economic Order Quantity = Q = Rs. 1, 22,902.27 Order Interval = Q/D = 0.064*365 = 23.36 24days No of order = D/Q = 15.385 16 orders per year Total Cost = 1, 97,097.73 Organization presently incurs total cost of Rs. 3, 20,000 on caps but actual cost incurred by adopting EOQ, the total cost is Rs. 1, 97,097.73. Therefore organization can save up to Rs. 1, 22,902.27
