Bakgrund: Prestationsmätning utgör ett grundfundament i ekonomistyrning och avser styra i riktning mot långsiktiga mål. Vidare bör prestationsmätningen vara sprungen ur såväl långsiktiga mål som strategier där det på koncernnivå är av vikt att kongruens råder mellan moder- och dotterbolag. Vid utformning av en standardiserad modell för prestationsmätning måste hänsyn tas till rådande organisationsstruktur och företagsunika förutsättningar. Representerade mätetal avser påvisa kritiska områden med förhoppning att vidareutveckla verksamheten. Problemdiskussion: Koncernen Emballator Plastics & Innovations utgör tillsammans med underliggande dotterbolag ett konglomerat med koncerngemensam lean-strategi. Koncernen erhåller på månadsbasis rapporter över dotterbolagens prestationsmätning vilka upprättats utan direktiv ifrån koncernen och därmed är av särskiljande karaktär. Ett behov har uppkommit att låta standardisera en modell för prestationsmätning som samtliga dotterbolag kan nyttja för att enklare kunna skapa en övergripande bild över dotterbolagens prestationer. Prestationsmätningsmodellen skall vara standardiserad men samtidigt inte förbise företagsspecifika förutsättningar detta för att tillföra nytta på såväl koncern- som dotterbolagsnivå. Syfte: Denna studie syftar att utveckla en standardiserad prestationsmätningsmodell till Emballator Plastics & Innovations, vilken tar hänsyn till koncernens konglomerat och lean-strategi.

Insamling av empiriskt material har erhållits via dokument samt intervjuer av övervägande semistrukturerad karaktär. Respondenter innefattar verkställande direktörer på koncern- liksom dotterbolagsnivå.
