Development of Performance Evaluation Indicators for Table Grape Packaging Units. 2. Global Indexes

The adoption of a global index (GI) for performance evaluation has been increasingly recognized as useful strategy decision-making it simplifies the interpretation and monitoring results. Because GI is often built by adopting combination different procedures normalization, weighting, aggregation indicators, challenging to select optimal procedures, since countless combinations lead This paper proposes method development robust original table grape production units (TGPUs). Various were used develop eighteen GIs each TGPU. These are located in lower-middle San Francisco valley northeast Brazil, where their robustness was assessed identifying outlier via graphical analysis. Plausible reliably identified cluster analysis conducted categorize TGPUs into groups considering objective. identification use plausible formation constitute new scientific approach topic, which can be extended other applications contribute sustainable several industries.
