High wastage rates and unsatisfactory performance gains affect on-site working for industrialised housebuilding (IHB) production. Rarely used performance management systems (PMS) are often quoted as one obstacle to support systematic productivity and efficiency improvements. To prepare the field for the development of an informative PMS a multiple case study is carried out, in order to show the potential on applied performance management systems. The three cases show diversified application of performance management (PM), ranging from various performance indicators used for management decisions to almost ignoring generated measures. Different approaches in developing PMS for the identified corporate strategies are analysed.
