Output Dimensions • Quality • Quantity • Timeframe • Location • Cost
OUTCOMES INTERVENTIONS Mix of actions to achieve desired outcomes Outputs Regulations Transfers Taxation Ownership
INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES Direct costs • Personnel • Travel • Stores Indirect costs • Overheads Reduction in road deaths Speed of transport Pollution Driver training Road traffic research Vehicle inspections
Transport Efficiency Travel Comfort Road Trauma Outcome1 2 3 Output1 2 3 Education Speed Enforcement Research
“Ownership” • Objectives and scope of business • Strategy – especially products/outputs • Financial performance • Capital maintenance • Risks
Financial performance indicators • Revenues • Surpluses/deficits • Cash flow performance • Debt level • Capital expenditure (new projects) • Cost of maintenance/replacement of assets
