Abstract: An activity matrix (AM) shows the activities that transform an organization’s inputs into outputs. The inputs are the system targets and the materials, energy and other resources that are used to achieve these. The outputs are the system performance expressed in terms of production, quality, profit, environmental performance, waste, etc. Performance may be measured against the financial, environmental, technical, social or other system targets.
