Planning process of ROBI with KPI: The role of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Many institutions make use of Key Performance Indicators or KPIs as part of their strategic

planning activity KPIs can be defined as

Financial and non-financial measures or metrics used to help an organization define and

evaluate how successful it is, typically in terms of making progress towards its long-term

organizational goals. (Wikipedia)

Steps of planning process of ROBI: Key performance indicators measure the quality of

an organization’s performance and assist in developing performance goals and strategies. In

many cases, key performance indicators are posed as questions that need to be answered, and

the answers provide the indications of organizational performance and strategic development.

While developing key performance indicators might seem like a challenging task, it is an

essential one for a company that plans to succeed. What is more, developing key performance

indicators takes time but is not necessarily difficult; it requires largely the ability to bridge the

gap between goals and results.

Step 1

Identify the results ROBI expect. In order to measure your organization’s performance with

key performance indicators, ROBI first need to know what the goals actually are. It is, after

all, difficult to establish rate of success without an expectation for success. Establish clear

goals that reflect various areas of ROBI: asset management, revenue and profit, spending,

safety and so forth. Key performance indicators are not limited to income; focus on a variety

of areas. Review the company’s business goals, and apply these to the desired results.

Step 2

Establish the numbers ROBI needs to reach its goals. This step goes beyond just identifying

the results; it gives shape to those results with actual numbers that represent objectives. ROBI

analyze about how much profit the company needs to make, how many new customers it

needs to add, how much money it needs to save, how many safety violations it needs to avoid

and so forth. ROBI that makes $50 million a year might have a goal of making $55 million a

year. That $55 million is a specific, clear goal–more than just a goal of “increasing company

profits.”

Step 3

Identify the progress that has occurred so far. Key performance indicators work alongside

specific company activities, and developing indicators for future activities requires an

understanding of what has already occurred or is in the process of occurring. If the company

Page 9 of 50

has a goal of making $55 million a year and is currently making $50 million a year, the

company is approximately 90.90 percent of the way toward its goal.

Step 4

Determine the percentage of change that has occurred within each area of review. In other

words, take a closer look at the current numbers–not focusing right now on the future

numbers–and consider what has happened in the past. Doing so will enable you to create

more effective goals for the future. Look at the percentage of change on different scales: the

change in profits from one July to the next, or the number of safety violations between one

month and the next.

Step 5

Establish the frequency of reviewing these indicators. Looking at key performance indicators

should not occur just once but should be a process that occurs at stated intervals over time.

And each area of a company studied will require a different frequency. Company profits

might need to be reviewed only quarterly, whereas safety issues should be reviewed monthly.

Determine the frequency based on the nature of the company sector.

Some Marketing KPIs of ROBI: Sales, Brand Awareness, Repeat Business,

Market Share, Internet Activity of ROBI.

Corporate Strategy: Corporate Strategy Division of Robi Axiata Limited does the

SWOT Analysis of Robi:

Strength

Strong Brand images to overall Customer through Advertising, Posturing, and

Sponsorship etc.

Offer quality products. Robi always support an entrepreneur that’s why the

organization have different product for them named Uddokta & Easy Load Tariff.

Robi is using better equipment to give better service to their customers. Now they are

using Nokia-Siemens instead of Alka-tell to provide best quality Network.

Good relationship with retailer.

Weakness

The customer of Robi face Network problem outside the Dhaka and sometimes even

inside Dhaka.

The company could not cover all the rural area with their network which is making

some dissatisfaction among the customers.

Average revenue of Subscriber life cycle is all most equal to the SIM tax. As a result it

Becomes very difficult to take out profit from the operation.

Page 11 of 50

Opportunities

Continuously increase the using rate of mobile phone in Bangladesh that’s why Robi

Has the opportunity to increase their customer base.

As Robi is using Bangla name for their products, it helps the customer to understand

The meaning of the products very well, that’s why they understand which tariff, is best

For them. So they buy it more. Mostly this is suitable for uneducated people of

Bangladesh and also for rural people.

Increasing income of population. As much they earn that much they need to using

Mobile to fulfill their working requirement.

Threats

Restriction of Government regulations.

There are five strong competitors are existing in Bangladesh for Robi. So Robi has to

face high competition to retain the customers.

Because of the aggressiveness of the competitors and customers connection

Switching behavior, Robi is constantly losing their market share. If it is going on, then

it’s very difficult for the company to exist.

Electricity is an essential need for living but many people in Bangladesh do not have any

access to it. There are still many villages without any supply of electricity thus denying the

villagers there the opportunity to lead a better life. Robi has taken an initiative to contribute

towards reducing the energy crisis through providing solar driven technology among the

underprivileged people of off-grid areas as well as helping to reduce CO2 emission. Keeping

these in mind, Robi Axiata Limited has already built a mega solar panel and distributed solar

power home solution among 150 families with 2 lights & a mobile charger at Kaluar Char

village of Razarhat Upazilla of Kurigram district for free of cost. This mega panel will

provide electricity for 4 hours to each household along with all sort of technical supports for

5 years. Following the success and considering the importance of the project in the Kaluar

Char village, Robi has extended the project to another 440 houses which include several

houses in this village and in adjoining villages. Under the 2nd Phase rest of the houses in

Kaluarchar, the two adjacent villages Chor Joy Kumer & Kismat Cinay have been covered.

The Grid Capacity for the 150 (Ph-1) and 440 (Ph-2) houses are 2.5 KW and 9.18 KW

respectively. Under Robi’s CSR pillar Environment this initiative has changed and having a

positive impact on the socio economic development of the local people. In brief we can say,

the project has in truer sense has illuminated their daily life and given them an opportunity to

change their lifestyle and be in touch with one of the best discovery of the modern

Employee Relations

As a multinational telecom organization Robi Axiata Ltd, Robi try to maintain their employee

relations in their own way. The ways they are following is absolutely right from my view

point.

Employee Satisfaction

Robi Axiata (RAX) Ltd, Robi maintain a positive relation with employees. But after my

observation of employee satisfaction I have found that some of the employees are still not

satisfied with the current situation of the organization. They want additional benefits and

Page 34 of 50

more allowances for various factors like children education, Medical allowance, and

Marriage allowances.

Respect for the Basic Human Rights of Employees:

Robi maintains that its suppliers respect the basic human rights of employees as defined in

the international conventions of the United Nations (UN), the International Labour

Organisation (ILO), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

and the UN Global Compact Initiative. Robi fully supports the ILO’s declaration of

elimination of forced labour, ban on discrimination, freedom of association and the right to

collective negotiation. Robi expects its suppliers to abide by the same.

• Prohibition of Child Labour

Robi strictly follows the ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work

(1998) and has a zero tolerance policy on any kind of child labour in any form of

employment and has made its partners comply with all the recommendations. Robi suppliers

are not allowed to employ workers under the age of 15 years.

• Health and Safety of Employees

Protecting the health and safety of employees at the workplace is of high priority for Robi. In

line with this, Robi has ensured that all its suppliers maintain health and safety policies and

practice the same in their operations. Suppliers are to provide a safe and healthy work

environment in accordance with international and national standards, laws, rules and

Controlling

Page 43 of 50

Controlling:

It’s one of the managerial functions like planning, organizing, staffing and leading. It is an

important function because it helps to check the errors and to take the corrective action so

that deviation from standards are minimized and stated goals of the organization are achieved

in a desired manner.

According to modern concepts, control is a foreseeing action whereas earlier concept of

control was used only when errors were detected. Control in management means setting

standards, measuring actual performance and taking corrective action.

Robi is the 3rd

largest telecommunication service provider in Bangladesh. Robi axiata ltd. has

a special and unique controlling system. Robi follows KPI based controlling system. They

first establish standards (KPI) to measure performance, second they Measure actual

performance (KPI), after that they compare performance with the standards, finally they

Correct Deviations.

Page 44 of 50

1. Establishing standards (KPI):

Standards are criteria against which results are measured. They are norms to achieve the

goals. Standards are usually measured in terms of output. They can also be measured in non-

monetary terms like loyalty, customer attraction, goodwill etc. Some of the standards are as.

Key Performance Indicators

On 21 February 2013, the Company announced the Headline KPIs set and agreed upon by the

Board and Management of the Group as follows:-

FY13 Headline KPIs FY13 Headline KPIs

Revenue Growth (%) 7.6

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and

Amortisation (EBITDA) Growth (%) 0.2

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) (%) 10.3

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) (%) 8.3

a. Time standards:

The goal will be set on the basis of time lapse in performing a task. Robi sets a time standard

to measure time efficiency.

b. Cost standards:

These indicate the financial expenditures involved per unit, e.g. material cost per unit, cost

per person, etc. Robi also sets cost standard to measure material cost per unit, cost per person.

c. Income standards:

These relate to financial rewards received due to a particular activity like sales volume per

month, year etc. Robi wants to earn Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and

Amortisation (EBITDA) Growth (%) 0.2.

d. Market share:

This relates to the share of the company's product in the market. Robi wants to increase

market share by increasing revenue growth by 7.6(%)

e. Productivity:

Productivity can be measured on the basis of units produced per man hour etc. Robi sets

standard of productivity by Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) (%) 10.3.

Page 45 of 50

f. Profitability:

These goals will be set with the consideration of cost per unit, market share, etc. Robi sets

this standard by Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) (%) 8.3

2. Measuring actual (KPI) performance

Measurement involves comparison between what is accomplished and what was intended to

be accomplished. The measurement of actual performance must be in the units similar to

those of predetermined criterion. The unit or the yardstick thus chosen be clear, well-defined

and easily identified, and should be uniform and homogenous throughout the measurement

process.

The performance can be measured by the following steps:

(a) Strategic control points:

It is not possible to check everything that is being done. So it is necessary to pick strategic

control points for measurement. Some of these points are:

(i) Income:

It is a significant control point and must be as much per unit of time as was expected. If the

income is significantly off form the expectation then the reasons should be investigated and a

corrective action taken.

(ii) Expenses:

Total and operational cost per unit must be computed and must be adhered to. Key expense

data must be reviewed periodically.

(iii) Inventory:

Some minimum inventory of both the finished product as well as raw materials must be kept

in stock as a buffer. Any change in inventory level would determine whether the production

is to be increased or decreased.

(iv) Quality of the product:

Standards of established quality must be maintained especially in food processing, drug

manufacturing, automobiles, etc. The process should be continuously observed for any

deviations.

(v) Absenteeism:

Excessive absenteeism of personnel is a serious reflection on the environment and working

conditions. Absenteeism in excess of chance expectations must be seriously investigated.

Page 46 of 50

(b) Meclzanised measuring devices:

This involves a wide variant of technical instruments used for measurement of machine

operations, product "quality for size and ingredients and production processes. These

instruments may be mechanical, electronic or chemical in nature.

(c) Ratio analysis:

Ratio analysis is one of the most important management tools. It describes the relationship of

one business variable to another.

The following are some of the important ratios of Robi:

(i) Net sales to working capital:

The working capital must be utilized adequately. If the inventory turnover is rapid then the

same working capital can be used again and again. Hence for perishable goods, this ratio is

high. Any change in ratio will signal a deviation from the norm.

(ii) Net sales to inventory:

The greater the turnover of inventory, generally, the higher the profit on investment.

(iii) Current ratio:

This is the ratio of current asset (cash, receivables etc.) to current liabilities, and is used to

determine a firm's ability to pay the short term debts.

(iv) Net profits to net sale:

This ratio measures the short-run profitability of a business.

(v) Net profits to tangible net worth:

Net worth is the difference between tangible assets (not good will, etc) and total liabilities.

This ratio of net worth is used to measure profitability over a long period.

(vi) Net profits to net working capital:

The net-working capital is the operating capital at hand. This would determine the ability of

the business to finance day-to-day operations.

(vii) Collection period on credit sales:

The collection period should be as short as possible. Any deviation from established

collection period should be promptly investigated.

Page 47 of 50

(viii) Inventory to net working capital:

This ratio is to determine the extent of working capital tied up in inventory. Generally, this

ratio should be less than 80 per cent, ix) Total debt to tangible net worth: This ratio would

determine the financial soundness of the business. This ratio should remain as low as

possible.

(d) Comparative statistical analysis:

The operations of one company can be usefully compared with similar operations of another

company or with industry averages. It is a very useful performance measuring device.

(e) Personal observation:

Personal observation both formal and informal can be used in certain situation as a measuring

device for performances, specially, the performance of the personnel. The informal

observation is generally a day-to-day routine type. A manager may walk through a store to

have a general idea about how people are working.

3. Comparing the actual performance with expected performance

This is the active principle of the process. The previous two, setting the goals and the

measurement format are the preparatory parts of the process. It is the responsibility of the

management to compare the actual performance against the standards established.

This comparison is less complicate if the measurement units for the standards set and the

performance measured are the same and quantified. The comparison becomes more difficult

when these require subjective evaluations

Robi identifies four phases in the comparison.

1. Receiving the raw data.

2. Accumulation, classification and recording of this information.

3. Periodic evaluation of completed action to date.

4. Reporting the status of accomplishment to higher line authority.

At the third phase, deviations if any are noted between standards and performance. If clear

cut deviations are there, then management must study the:-

(i) Causes for deviation

(ii) Effect of deviation

(iii) Size of deviation

Page 48 of 50

(iv) Positive or negative deviation.

4. Correcting Deviations:

The final element in the process is the taking corrective action. Measuring and comparing

performance, detecting shortcomings, failures or deviations, from plans will be of no avail if

it does point to the needed corrective action.

Thus controlling to be effective, should involve not only the detection of lapses but also

probe into the failure spots, fixation of responsibility for the failures at the right quarters,

recommendation of the best possible steps to correct them. These corrective actions must be

applied when the work is in progress. The primary objective should be avoidance of such

failures in future.

The required corrective action can be determined from the qualified data as per the standards

laid out and the performance evaluation already done. This step should be taken promptly,

otherwise losses may be cumulative and remedial action will be all the more difficult to take.

Corrective action must be well balanced, avoiding over controlling and at the same time

letting not things to drift.

Conclusion

Management is an important issue for any organization. Management will select the

efficiency of an organization. Without efficient management no organization can success.

Planning is the most important part of management functions. Without proper planning

organization can’t success in the long run. Staffing allows an organization to assess the

vacancy and choose the best personnel who will lead the organization in future. So the

organization should give more emphasize on selecting a person. A person who can carry

forwarded the organization in terms of development, values and ethics. Mainly the precious

resource for any organization is their knowledge based efficient workers. The organizations

should more cautious on this issue to ensure the quality and ethics. Controlling is the last part

of management functions. It is the important for measuring efficiency of the organization.

From the above discussion we can easily understand that Robi Axiata Ltd. (Robi) is one of

the top mobile Company of Bangladesh. It covers the whole Bangladesh by its network

(98.7% network coverage by population). There are many product and services of Robi is

available in Market. At this moment the company is in growing position. But the strategies of

the company will make the company “number one” mobile company of Bangladesh.

So we can easily find out the Planning, organizing, human resource practice, recruitment and

selection process, leading, controlling, employee satisfaction and relations at Robi is a very

developed and effective one. As a multinational company for making the process more

effective Robi should analyze the Management process of other multinational company of

home and abroad. That can make Robi perfect in recruiting people and the company will get

efficient professionals, which will increase the productivity as well as revenue.

ensure network quality. Moreover, its decisions are based on facts from market research and
