Abstract
The overall development of business operations logistics activities becomes more important for firms with the globalization of economy and therefore performance measurement being equally important. In order to break monopolistic control of Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), Indian Railways entered for competition in the container segment in January 2006 through private-public participation for customer centric competitiveness. The purpose of this book chapter is to benchmark the performance indicators in CONCOR. A case study has been conducted employing super-efficiency models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on secondary data of CONCOR container terminals from 1994-95 till 2015-16 for performance evaluation within CONCOR. The exercise identified efficiency trends fluctuating between 75.83% to 109.51% (CCR Model) and 93.52% to 1000% (BCC Model) within CONCOR owing to lack of operational planning and lack of efficient staff.

Grid Analysis of Radiological Data
Assessment of the technical characteristics of algorithms used in medical image analysis (e.g. registration accuracy). In some cases, a well established reference or gold standard exists and can be used for evaluation. In other cases, there is no direct way of comparing a result to the known reference. Statistical procedures can be used to define an approximate reference, or Bronze Standard.

The Influence of Human Resources in the Motivation and Performance of Employees: Performance Evaluation/Appraisal
It is also referred to as performance appraisal or performance review, is a methodical procedure for gauging a person's effectiveness on the job and contribution to the organization. The appraisal of a worker's abilities, successes, and behaviours in light of established performance standards and objectives is a part of this process. A formal evaluation report or rating is frequently produced as a result of performance evaluations, which are frequently carried out using a combination of feedback, assessment, and documentation. Performance evaluation serves a variety of purposes, including giving feedback, highlighting successes, pointing out areas for development, assisting in making educated judgements about awards and promotions, and coordinating individual performance with organizational goals.
