Dear Sandesh Kharve,
Establishing a Performance Management System (PMS) is a time-consuming process. It is a comprehensive activity that cannot be restricted to a document. Even if someone possesses the document, putting it into action requires the support of an external consultant. After the initial consulting assignment, periodical interventions are required which last for a few months or even years.
I have been giving replies to the queries on PMS for the last several years. You may click the following links to know more about the subject:
