A multi-location manager scorecard compares operating performance using common definitions while preserving differences in site size and demand. It helps owners see which location needs support without turning every weekly call into anecdotal reporting.
Download the editable CSV worksheet. Open it in your spreadsheet application, keep the instructions, and complete the blank entry, owner, due date, and evidence columns. This is a blank planning tool; the example below is illustrative.
When to use this worksheet
Use it with the manager who owns this workflow and one person who performs the work. Bring a recent completed case and a recent exception. Compare the worksheet with those records before adopting it as a team standard. If an existing system already stores these details, use its fields rather than maintaining two competing records.
Template fields and completion checklist
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Demand | Use a comparable unit such as appointments, jobs, or orders. |
| Capacity | Show staffed hours and relevant skill coverage. |
| Delivery | Measure completed work and commitments missed. |
| Quality | Track corrections or complaints using a shared definition. |
| Local constraint | Document a site-specific issue affecting the numbers. |
| Manager action | Record the decision, accountable manager, and review date. |
How to put the process into practice
Agree on definitions across locations before comparing results. Normalize where appropriate, such as output per staffed hour, but retain raw totals for context.
Pilot the scorecard at two sites and ask managers to independently calculate the same sample period.
Discuss one operating constraint per site and share practices only after checking that the local conditions are comparable.
Worked example
Illustrative example: one location completes 100 jobs with 200 staffed hours and another completes 70 with 100 hours. Raw volume favors the larger site, while jobs per hour favors the smaller one. Quality, job complexity, and customer waiting time are needed before concluding which operating method is better.
Common mistake to avoid
A league table can encourage managers to move work between weeks or underreport corrections. Define cutoffs and review source records when unusual improvements appear.
What to measure after implementation
Track definition consistency, unresolved site constraints, and customer outcomes alongside volume. Verify improvements persist after staffing and demand change.
Review the first completed worksheet
Before expanding this process, have the responsible manager check one completed record against the original evidence. Confirm that another team member can understand the next action without asking the author to explain it. Record any missing information as a revision to the worksheet. Choose a review date based on how often the workflow runs; a weekly process gives feedback sooner than a quarterly one.
