A Goal‐oriented Productivity Index for Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

A weighted multi‐factor productivity index developed for the National Standard Company is presented. The index monitors the performance of an organisation and identifies productivity problems. Key resource factors are defined and a weighting technique, with both subjective and objective attributes, is presented. The index is dynamic and responsive to the changing needs of an organisation and is a goal‐oriented measuring tool.
