Performance measurement is integral to performance management and provides a basis for performance improvement programs (Kuragu et al, 2016).…”

Gas Engine Generator (GEG) Power plants as electricity producers need to be maintained using monitoring performance and continuously improvements. Company management of power plant is difficult to make decision for continuous improvement, requires Performance Measurement Tools (PMT) to determine the performance of a GEG power plant. PMT developed using Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that was defined through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with different field of expertise in company and based on references and the weighting of KPI criterion that was developed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study was a case study at leading medium energy company in Indonesia. PMT is a tool to calculate Performance Score (PS) from the calculation of actual data, contracts and KPI (Power Output/PO, Heat Rate/HR, Operation Ratio/OR, Capacity Factor/CF) weights. If there is a gap in the PS then it can indicate penalty from customer especially PO and HR. Case study was conducted on three power plants that have different capacity and number of engines. The sum of the PS from the KPI will get a Total Performance Score (TPS). The highest TPS value will get a Performance Benchmark (PB) for each power plant.

“…Their interest was based on the fact that African countries' development psychology are still in the shadow of their former colonial masters, intellectually, culturally, and economically as was asserted by [21]. Other researchers have delved deeply in the identification of project performance factors [1,12]. Many other scholars have assessed readiness for adoption of various specific project management items.…”

Several studies have documented that Africa's infrastructure construction firms often do not meet defined project objectives regarding; time, budget and functionality. This has often caused; delays, abandonment or disillusionments on the side of investors. Several contributing factors to these failures have been identified. However, very little if at all, seems to have been done on the project management readiness of African construction firms. Accordingly, this paper sought to assess Africa's construction industry readiness to deliver the priority action projects. Using literature review method, the study established that Africa has a huge technical skills gap which is the main reason for the dismal performance in construction projects' delivery. A readiness training model was developed for policy planners and educational practitioners to help build Africa's human capacity in infrastructure project management. The paper strongly recommends for the adoption of the model. And with that, the Africa's construction stakeholders may gradually improve their project management readiness.
