Child Nutrition - Essential Key Performance Indicators in School Nutrition




The purpose of this 4 hour training is to provide school nutrition professionals with an easy-to-use reference for identifying and applying the key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on the most critical aspects of a nutrition program’s performance to achieve success.

Performance measurement is an essential managerial function. It exposes the gaps between
current and desired performance, and provides evidence that progress has been made toward closing the gaps. These measures provide a numbers-oriented approach to specific areas of emphasis, and assess results in an objective manner. Key performance indicators allow users to set standards of expectation, identify problem areas, and measure progress in correcting these problems. KPIs can be used to identify where resources should be invested to have the most positive impact, such as equipment or labor. They can be used to track the progress of major initiatives, for example, breakfast in the classroom, salad bars, and farm to school, on participation, cost, and revenue.

Important Session Information:


Participants will study 12 key areas: Meal Equivalents (MEQ), Average Daily Participation (ADP), Revenues, Expenditures, Revenue Per Meal Equivalent, Cost Per Meal Equivalent, Cost as a Percentage of Revenue, Break-Even Point (BEP), Inventory Turnover Rate, Meals Per Labor Hour (MPLH), Staff Turnover Rate, and Absenteeism Rate.
