The balanced scorecard shown below is for the art department of Sherman Ceramics, a large corporation that manufactures collectible ceramic figurines based on comic book, television, and film characters. The company has an automated assembly line to manufacture the figurines, but most of the work done in the art department is by hand, since the figurines are produced in small runs and are considered to be exclusive collectibles. The employees of the art department hand paint the features and apparel on the figurines, as well as any accessories that accompany the figurine. The corresponding price point for these items is high, and they are generally sold in independent comic book stores and through online sites, although certain national toy store chains carry the figurines as well. The art department currently has a staff of 40 employees and 5 managers; the managers all served as line staff in the assembly department prior to their promotions. Art department employees are generally high skilled in their field, but they tend to not have degrees in higher education.
