Abstract :
Texas Instruments´ (TI), DMOS IV wafer fabrication plant´s experience with multiple complaints, underachievement to goals and limited results served as catalyst to a major redesign in its traditional performance management system. This report describes the problem solving process that identified, developed, implemented, managed and validated performance standards as a solution for unclear role definition, job expectations and an uncertain career ladder
