From: Balanced Scorecard Analysis For E-Bike Options
The e-bike segment of Fox Factory Holding Corporation is planning on introducing e-bike products and beginning sales. There are three options including: (1) producing the new e-bike internally; (2) outsourcing manufacturing to another manufacturer; and (3) licensing the design to an existing company for royalties on future sales. Each of the three options was analyzed. A balanced scorecard was developed with relevant objectives, KPIs, projections, budgets, and plan details. The analysis included two KPIs for the financial, customer, and internal process and learning and growth perspectives.
The first option's financial perspective objectives included improving the company's financial efficiency and profitability. The KPIs were inventory turnover and gross profit margin. Some initiatives included increasing sales and marketing campaigns and reducing operational and production costs. The internal process perspective objectives included increasing employee engagement and productivity, while the KPIs included employee feedback and satisfaction. Some initiatives identified included increasing organizational communication channels, staff training, and employee compensation. The customer/market perspective objectives included increasing customer share and customer loyalty. The two KPIs were customer satisfaction score and retention cost. On the other hand, the initiatives conducted customer satisfaction surveys and analyses. The learning and growth perspective objectives were reducing voluntary attrition rates and increasing talent acquisition. At the same time, the KPIs were voluntary attrition and the number of key hires.
