TD Save Tombro Industries is in the process of automating one of its plants and developing a fewble manufacturing system. The company finding it necessary to make many changes in operating procedures, Progress has been slow, particularly in trying to develop new performance measures for the factory. In an effort to evaluate performance and determine where Improvements can be made, management has othered the following oma relating to activities over the last four months Month 1 202 63 100 141 43 06 113 99 44 15 119 days 7 days 5 days 20 20 4 day 61 Quality control meandro Number of defects Number of warranty claims Number of customer complaints Material control measures Purchase order lead time scrap as a percent of total cont Machine performance measures Machine downtime as a percentage of availability Use as a percentage of availability Setup time (hours) Delivery performance measure Throughput time Manufacturing cycle officiency (CH) Delivery eyele tine porcentage of on-time deliveries 30 953 45 929 10 44 898 11 60 050 12 2 2 2 2 7 958 2 2 ? 920 2 ? 7 89 961 The president has read in industry Journals that throughput time, MCE and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how they are computed.
