How Interpolated Calculation Works

How Your Progress is Calculated

Let's use an example to illustrate how your Progress is calculated based on the Actual achieved value:
Considering:

Situation: The actual achieved value is equal to or greater than the Sub-target, but less than the Target.
Calculation: The system calculates the position of the actual value between the Sub-target (which corresponds to 80% progress) and the Target (which corresponds to 100% progress).
Example: If you achieved 14, your progress will be 88%.
- The difference between the Sub-target (10) and Target (20) is 10.
- Your actual value (14) is 4 points above the Sub-target (10).
- This represents 40% of the distance between 10 and 20.
- So, the progress is 80% + 40% of the difference between 100% and 80% (which is 20%).
- Calculation: 80%+(0.40×20%)=80%+8%=88%.

Situation: The actual achieved value is equal to or greater than the Target, but less than the Super-target.
Calculation: The system calculates the position of the actual value between the Target (which corresponds to 100% progress) and the Super-target (which corresponds to 120% progress).
Example: If you achieved 23, your progress will be 112%.
- The difference between the Target (20) and Super-target (25) is 5.
- Your actual value (23) is 3 points above the Target (20).
- This represents 60% of the distance between 20 and 25.
- So, the progress is 100% + 60% of the difference between 120% and 100% (which is 20%).
- Calculation: 100%+(0.60×20%)=100%+12%=112%.

Situation: The actual achieved value is equal to or greater than the Super-target.
Calculation: Progress is fixed at 120% for standardization.
Example: If you achieved 28, your progress will be 120%.
Even if a proportional calculation might result in a higher value, the system limits progress to 120%. For instance, if you achieved 30 (where the Super-target is 25), the proportional calculation would result in more than 120%, but to maintain standardization, the maximum progress is 120%.

Sub-target Not Defined: If no sub-target is entered, any value below the Target will result in 0% progress. Progress calculation only applies starting from the Target (100%).
Super-target Not Defined: If no super-target is entered, the maximum possible progress is 100% (reaching the Target). There is no calculation for percentages above 100%.
Decrease Objectives: For goals that involve reducing a value (like decreasing costs or errors), the logic of numerical values is inverted (a smaller value indicates better performance), but the progress calculation formulas are applied in the same way. The system adapts this automatically.
