I am trying to establish a Key Performance Indicator for monograph
acquisition at Leeds, which would be based on the time elapased between a
book being ordered and it being fully processed and ready for shelving.
However I can see no easy way of establishing this time interval - the
processing team are the last people to handle the book, and they don't work
on the Innopac record. And even if they did, there is seems to be no field
into which a date could be input and then compared to the ODATE in the Order
record. Even if we totally ignore Innopac, I still can't think of a way of
obtaining this data which doesn't require hours of staff time.
Has anybody else grappled with the same problem and come up with a solution?
I would be very interested to hear how you do it, on either a sampling basis
or calculating the KPI for all acquisitions.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
