KPIs
Average FEM Score
The average of facilities’ total FEM scores.
Tip
This can be used as an initial evaluation of overall performance in facilities. Strategic decisions should include other metrics as the score alone does not provide the specific insight necessary to identify solutions. The same principle holds for section scores.
Formula
average(total_score)
- The average of all total scores.
Average EMS Score
The average of facilities’ total EMS scores.
Formula
average(total_ems_score)
- The average of all EMS section scores.
Average Energy Score
The average of facilities' total energy scores.
Formula
average(total_energy_score)
- The average of all energy section scores.
Average Water Score
The average of facilities’ total water scores.
Formula
average(total_water_score)
- The average of all water section scores.
Average Wastewater Score
The average of facilities' total wastewater scores.
Formula
average(total_wastewater_score)
- The average of all wastewater section scores.
Average Air Emissions Score
The average of facilities’ total air emissions scores.
Formula
average(total_air_score)
- The average of all air section scores.
Average Waste Score
The average of facilities’ total waste scores.
Formula
average(total_waste_score)
- The average of all waste section scores.
Average Chemicals Score
The average of facilities’ total chemicals scores.
Formula
average(total_chemicals_score)
- The average of all chemicals section scores.
Average Audit Person Days
Average audit person days per facility (1 audit day = one day for one auditor) for any additional audits or assessments. Facilities that have not reported additional assessments/audits are not included in the calculation.
Tip
Use this to understand the amount of time the facility is dedicating to on-site visits by auditors. A higher number indicates a greater likelihood of audit fatigue.
Formula
average(sipauditlength)
Average Number of Additional Assessments/Audits
Average number of additional assessments/audits per facility. This count does not include the Higg FEM.
Tip
Use this to understand if there is a potential for audit fatigue and if there are potential avenues for reducing duplicative work.
Formula
average(sipauditnumber)
Average Operating Days
Average number of operating days per facility
Tip
Use this metric to help you identify facilities with anomalous operating conditions. A very high number indicates a potential risk of overwork. This number should also influence how impact data like water and energy use are interpreted.
Formula
average(sipoperatingdays)
Average Full Time Employees
Average number of full time employees per facility
Formula
average(sipfulltimeemployees)
Average Part Time Employees
Average number of part time employees per facility
Formula
average(siptempemployees)
