Question about Balanced Scorecard Structure

Hi,
I have to build a scorecard based on the following elements :
4 perspectives
Let's say for perspective 1, 2 strategic objectives, 3 objectives and to 5 measures.
Example :
- Financial perspective
      - strategic objective "Control SG&A costs"
                 - objective "Control IT project cost"
                           - Measure 1, Measure 2
                 - objective "Control HR cost"
                           - Measure 1, Measure 2
I don't konw how to do it because BSC provides perspectives elements, objectives and measures. So, I miss one element to build as the client wants it.
Do you have an idea to do it ?
Thanks in advance

hi
Balanced Score Card has to be configured as follows:
First You have to Define Strategy
For Example Strategy : Revenue Growth
For this particular strategy u can have 4 perspectives
1. Financial Perspective
2. Customers Perspective
3. Internal Process
4. Learning & Growth
For Financial Perspective: You can have different Objectivees
eg for objectives:1. New Revenue Sources
2. Increase Profitablilty thru Premium Brands
Next For each objective u can have measures and initiatives
For eg: for increase Profitablity thru Premium Brands
Measures: Profit, Revenues
Initiatives: Allocate Budget For Advertisement , Promotinal Activity etc.
So Overall the sequence will be First : Strategy
and For Each Strategy u will have different Perspectives and for each perspective different objectives and for each objectives u will assign different measures and initiatives.
Objective will pertain to repective perspective only.
For each initiative u hv to assign respective incharge and budget to be alloted.

Question about Java apps structure

Hello guys,
I'm a professional C++ programmer and I would like to start learning Java. I'm reading about Java from here and there and would like to ask you about how a java program is structured compared to C++.
So in C++, I have main.cpp (or any other file name, doesn't matter), which contains a the main() function, and I have .h and .cpp class files that I instantiate (basically) in my main function to get my program to work.
In Java, I'm confused and can't really find the "general" rule to how stuff are organised. I noticed that every class has a main function (why?), and there's no global scope. And "somehow", file names must exactly be equal to the class names.
The question is: how are Java files of classes (and other stuff, if available) are arranged to create a program? What's the standard why? And How can I have many classes together in a single main()?
Thank you for any efforts :-)

Thank you guys for the replies. I still have some more doubts :-)
Do I have to have a file for the implementation and a file for the definitons, like cpp and header files? or just everything inside the class?
Why does Netbeans fail to compile when I change the class name? what should I change with the class name in general to have it compile correctly? From what I understand till now, the top level class's name (the class with the main() function that's gonna be executed) has to be equal to the file name (and I got that this is the sufficient condition for the app to compile), while the same file can have more classes if I wish. Did I get that right?
I don't know if I get that right too, we pass only a SINGLE class/file to the compiler, and it automatically resolves ALLLL the included files automatically, unlike C++, where all cpp files have to be passed to the compiler/makefile to create object files, and then the executable is created after linking all those object files with the libraries together. i.e.: Java doesn't really need a makefile because making is really simple with only 1 filename. True?

Question about the sequence structure

Hi,
If we want to get best performance when programming a sequence of functions or calculations, we should choose 'Stacked sequence structure' or 'Flat sequence structure'? or they have the same performance?
Thanks.

To the best of my knowlege there is no performance hit, the "Flat sequence structure" was a fairly recent addition to try and overcome one (of many) complaints about sequence structures in general, that stacked sequences obscure what is happening in the code. If the various sections of your calculation or functions have data dependency, i.e. the output of a calculation is fed into the subsequent calculation or function, then a sequence structure is probably not needed as, with data flow, the calculation that is "dependent" won't executed until all its inputs requirements are satified. If the "functions" are in the form of sub-vi's the method that is more "proper" is to inforce a dependency between subsequent vi's. This can be as simple as adding error in and out controls to the sub-vi's, even if they are only passed through the vi without actually performing an error function. This allows you to wire them together in the execution order that is required. Doing this on some of the early "built-in" functions that have remained in LabVIEW (the original timer functions) sometime requires putting a wrapper around them to make them sub-vi's with error passing, but in the latest versions of LabVIEW the compiler seems to do a good job of minimizing any performance hits this might appear to cause.

Question about InDesign File Structure

I had an interview Friday for a design job and they asked me to send them a stripped InDesign file without photos or anything, just a file so they can check out the structure of the file and see how I set up my files.
1. What is good file structure?
2. What do you suppose they're looking for?
3. What should I send them?
Thanks!

I would provide the following:
Bleed setup     (Usually specified as .125 inches for commercial print)
Layer Stacking Order (Z order)     (To see if you know how a document flattens)
Margins and Columns     (Mainly for Multi-Column Documents)
Page Setup     (Whether Facing Pages or Single Page spreads are needed)
I would start with 3 layers listed how they appear in the Layer Pallete:
Text     (This remains on top to counteract the affects of transparency)
Images     (This layer used for all images or type with transparecy effects)
Background     (I create a bleed size rectangle with a fill and stroke of none as a default)
If including text:
Provide an example of:
Character and Paragraph Styles
Nested Styles
BONUS: Grep Styles
I would also make a mixed ink group of some sort and dieline utilizing a spot color and overprint.
It might impress them if you included Rich Black where needed.
All of these would show them your mastery of Indesign and Print Design

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT USING CASE STRUCTURE

Can I compute a percentage using case structure?
In the following query below, I have been able to use CASE STRUCTURE to add to a counter when days were between 0 and 30, or when days were between 31 and 60 or when days were between 61 and 90 or when days were between 91 and 9999. I have also been able to get a GRAND TOTAL of all days between 0 and 9999. This is done in the LAST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT. The FIRST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT counts rows of records being processed. I want to take the LAST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT and MULTIPLY it by 100 and then DIVIDE it by the FIRST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT to get a percentage. I know that you can do this with numeric fields in a file but is there a way to do this in CASE STRUCTURE with calculated totals?
SELECT
count(distinct v.rowid) v_cnt,
SUM(CASE WHEN(V.LCL_ER_RECV_DT - ADD_MONTHS(V.IND_ER_PER_END_DT,3)) BETWEEN 0 AND 30 THEN 1

Question about stacked sequence structure

Hi,
I made a numeric control outside a stacked sequence structure, and connect the control both to frame 1 and frame 2. In frame 2 there is a while loop structure. And now I start the labview program with the control A. Then, after frame 1 finished, frame 2 started, now I want to change the control to B and deliver B into frame 2. But the indicator in frame 2 shows that the control is still A. So I wonder how can I change the control and deliver it to the frame after the frame has started? Thank you!

Dataflow dictates what you are seeing. The control does not get read once the sequence starts. This is as expected.
Some possible solutions:
Just don't use stacked sequence! I don't and never feel limited by this choice.
Create local variable of the control and read from it inside frame 2.
Do you REALLY need a stacked sequence? Why???

Hai,
Request to kindly clarify my queries
1. How to give relationship between positions& also between org unit in Expert mode?
2. what exactly should i select from job catalouge inorder to define the relation.
3.where can i check my specified relation?
4. Is there any difference between Reporting & Relationship?
regards
Dileep

Hi,
1. Go to Expert mode, po13, enter the Position id and click the Object infotype, then click the button change, then you can change the name of the Position.
2. Under the Expert Mode.
3. Yes, ofcourse, then only the corresponding position will inherit the task.
4. Select the Job from the Expert Mode, select the relationship infotype and select the task.
5. under the Expert mode to add the task to the catalog.
6. Object Description is IT1002. Maintain that through Expert mode for your object.

Re: Questions about Plan structure

Reply-To: "Duncan Kinnear" <[email protected]>
Q. if you have an Employee class with related EmployeeSubordinate and
EmployeeSalaryHistory classes, should these all be in the same plan?
A It is better to have them in the same plan.It depends on the design
you have
Q Why should the Managers be separated from their business classes?
A Managers are usually service objects which might require different
resources.
These managers when deployed might be required by several other
applications.
Seperating them as a different plan will help in just using one
installed partition to be
Used by different applications (refer about Reference Partition)
Q If you have the Database managers separate, what scope does each DB
manager cover?
A It is better to have the DB managers in user scope.
It depends on the numbers of users, u have for the system.
Since u are talking about 100 tables. It's a huge system.
It also depends on the user licenses u have for the backend.
Take care that u use proper load balancing of DB Managers for the
system.

Hi there,
We are in the middle of designing the structure of a new system.
I have read/heard that it is best to break down the plans into the
following categories:
Business Classes
Managers/Services
Clients
I have a few questions about this structure:
Should related business classes be grouped together in Plans? E.g. if
you have an Employee class with related EmployeeSubordinate and
EmployeeSalaryHistory classes, should these all be in the same plan?
Why should the Managers be separated from their business classes?
E.g. if there is an EmployeeMgr service which deals with anything to do
with the Employee business class, why separate them in different
plans? If you need the manager to access the class, you will always
need both.
Some of the Forte documentation talks about "Policy" managers and
"Database" managers. How do the functions of these managers differ
for a simple CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) class?
If you have the Database managers separate, what scope does each
DB manager cover? I.e. do you have one for the entire database (over
100 tables in our case), or do you break it down by sub-system?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Basic questions about NWDI structure

Hello All,
I have read some materials about the Java development process within SAP J2EE engine.
Here I just want to confirm with you some knowledge points and ask some questions about the configuration of NWDI before proceeding Java development.
1. There are four systems within SAP Java landscape, the first one is the developer's own PC, on which there should be installed SAP Workplace (actually is a small J2EE engine and the NW developer studio), am I understanding right?
2. Where should the DTR CBS CMS and SLD be installed? on the Consolidation Server? or the TEST Server? or the Production server? or totally on another standalone server?
3. Within one Track (four system), how many DTR server, CBS Server and SLD server should be installed? Does it only need one for each?(All the four system connect to the same DTR/CBS/SLD server?)
4. Can DTR Server, CBS Server and SLD Server be installed on the same host? or should they be installed on separate hosts?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Nick

The introduction of this demo contains a nice overview of the system landscape with NWDI, which should answer most of your questions:

hi, I am trying to write a GUI program like MSN messenger. right now, I am really confused about my program structure.
Should I put all the things in one class or separate them into GUI class, services class..etc? for example, right now, I have a class responsible for connecting to the server. Should I put it into the GUI class as a nested class or .......? Basically, what is the best structure for GUI program?

SEM-CPM Balanced Scorecard and time-variant results/scores

Hi everyone!
I have successfully created a basic Balanced Scorecard with SAP SEM 4.0. By configuring the "Value Fields" and using "Formula Result-Score Assignment", I have specified which results are equivilant to what score. As an example, a have defined that a process cycle time of 25 minutes is equivilant to a score value of 85 (out of 100) and a process cycle time of 20 minutes is equivilant to a score value of 100.
Since I want to use my Balanced Scorecard for strategic planning (along with SEM/BW-BPS), I want these result-score assignments to vary of the upcoming period. As an example, in 6 months time a process cycle time of 20 minutes should be a score of 100 (as above). But since I want to improve my operational performance, in 12 months time a cycle time of 17 should be 100 (as my process cycle time should have improved by then). In other words, my planning targets should be dynamic (depending on time) and not only static (always the same).
My question is now, how can I define different Result-Score Assignment (in other words: goals/targets) for different time horizons? Can I do that with integrating SEM/BW-BPS?
Best regards, Daniel

SEM Balanced Scorecard - Trends

Hi Guys
I have been asked by a client about Trend Indicators in Scorecard. At the moment the Trend Indicator appears against each measure and indicates the trend period-on-period, but is there a way we can have Trend Indicators for the top-level status or score eg. Strategy or Perspective via the Analysis View?
Thanks

Balanced scorecard: blueprint doc

Hi,
Pls share balanced scorecard blueprint/scooping documents..
thanks,
RP

Good day Kumar,
I am not sure if I understand your question, so I have several responses.
The Balanced Scorecard is a performance management methodology. An organization first needs to have a developed strategic plan with objectives, the projects to reach those objectives, and the indicators to monitor that shows whether you are reaching those goals.
If more information about this area is your question; looking for blueprints for a Balanced Scorecard, I would refer you to Paul Niven's book "Balanced Scorecard: Step by Step" or Bob Paladino's excellent "Five Key Principles of Corporate Performance Management". Both of these are great books for beginning the strategic planning process.
Plus, there are numerous web sites by organizations and consultants promoting and assisting with Balanced Scorecard.
If your question is about implementing a Balanced Scorecard in an SAP technology environment, I have two additional responses. First, if you are using SAP SEM, there is a very good book by SAP Press called "CPM and Balanced Scorecard with SAP" by Dr. Marco Sisfontes-Monge. You can find it at sappress. com.
If you are using the new SAP Strategy Management (SSM) piece, you can access a number of documents on the Best Practices section, (assuming you are registered)
http://help.sap.com and click on the Best Practices tab. Here is a direct address for the SAP Strategy Management Best Practices section:
