Available now MOOC on circular performance management

Performance measurement is indispensable to professional logistics management. A performance measurement system supports the monitoring, control, reporting and improvement of processes. In recent years, a number of performance measurement systems have been developed for the circular economy. However, until recently performance measurements in the circular economy mainly focused on macro-economic level and circularity of products (product level). Performance measurement on supply chain level remained underdeveloped.

In the TKI Dinalog project “Use of performance measurements in circular chains,” NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences and the University of Twente have carried out research into circular performance management in logistics management on both a theoretical basis and from the perspective of practical applicability.

In the MOOC, they share their findings in 20 short videos. Eleven are videos with a more theoretical perspective and nine are company videos. Together, the videos give a good first impression of the possibilities and importance of circular performance management.
