Nonprofit organizations have specific and complex characteristics that influence their performance measurement and differentiate it from others business models. So, it is important to know what are the factors, as motivations, barriers, and drivers, that influence the design of a performance measurement system to develop a complete system with all organizational issues, as social aspects, accountability, and legitimacy. A systematic literature review was previously performed and a set of factors that influence the design of performance measurement system for nonprofit organizations were identified. This paper presents a case study conducted in a Fire Department in the United States with the purpose investigate the set of factors in the practice. The data were collected using four techniques: interviews, documents and archival records, and observation. The findings show that the influence of the factors can vary depending on the type of organization and the paper indicates some reasons for that. Therefore, understanding the organization and these factors is a challenge for the performance measurement area to provide tools and frameworks that contribute to the organizational management and research area advance.
Proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) controllers have been widely adopted for industrial applications. However, these controllers are not very efficient for non-linear systems. Artificial neural networks (ANN)...
