In particular, we develop an efficient performance appraisal system, based on the results we obtained by performing task analysis and company structure re-organization in Sinte. The key design criteria of the appraisal system proposed is that different appraisal indexes should be adopted for various positions and departments. Following the criteria, performance appraisal systems for R&D Dept., Marketing Dept., Manufacturing Dept., management staff and ordinary employees are established. In the design process, the idea of adjustable weights in the theory of human resource management is utilized to improve the applicability of the newly developed appraisal system. Then, expertise technique and paired comparison method are applied to determine and validate the KPI weights.
