GM2 Article 15(1)(e) Conditions for obtaining a certificate ED Decision 2022/022/R MANAGEMENT SYSTEM — SAFETY PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT Safety performance monitoring and measurement is the process by which the safety performance is verified in relation to the safety policy and the safety objectives established by the applicant. A performance indicator (PI) is a type of performance measurement. An organisation may use PIs to evaluate its success, or to evaluate the success of a particular activity in which it is engaged. Sometimes success is defined in terms of making progress towards strategic goals, but often success is simply the repeated, periodic achievement of some level of operational goal (e.g. zero defects). Accordingly, choosing the right PIs relies upon a good understanding of what is important to the organisation. Since there is a need to ensure a relevant assessment, various techniques to assess the present state of the business, and its key activities, are associated with the selection of appropriate PIs. These assessments often lead to the identification of potential improvements, so PIs are routinely associated with performance improvement initiatives. When PIs have performance targets associated with them, they are known as key performance indicators (KPIs).
