dc.description.abstractThis dissertation presents a study on the applicability of performance measurement during product development in manufacturing industries in Tanzania. The use of performance measurement has been increasing and has made revolution in manufacturing industries worldwide. However, in developing countries like Tanzania, application of performance measurement is still primitive, compare to what is done elsewhere, this result in production of inferior products that are usually out-competed by products from other countries.This study utilized both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Data were collected through questionnaire and interview with total of 30 respondents, and then was analyzed by using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The results show that the level of application of performance measurement of the employees in manufacturing industries in Tanzania ranges from low to moderate. This implies that no emphasis is placed on performance measurement. The type of performance measurement that is done is based on cost and time only. The main barriers in the implementation and application of performance measurement are lack of resources, lack of support for their use, lack of company accountability, little knowledge by the management on how to do performance measurement and lack of a defined system that is in place for performance measurement in manufacturing industries. Moreover, performance measurement guideline was developed that can be used in manufacturing industries for better performance and in the improvement of the quality of products that are manufactured.en_US
