_______________________________________________

 

 
 
 
37- THE SUPERVISOR
_______________________________________________
  STEP 1. Identify productivity area.
  (a) Responsibility : welding production.

(b) Performance : weld 40 plates, 50 assemblies weekly
      with no more that plate rejects (5%).

(c) Resources : two workers, welding machine,

40 hours/week

 

STEP 2. Quantify productivity.
 

(a) Before :
      PI =  =  =  = 0.05 (5%) reject rate

(b) After :
      PI =  =  =  = 0.03 (3%) reject rate

 

STEP 3. Specify productivity objective: Archieve 60 plate-welding
               results weekly, 30 plates/worker, with no more than two plte
               rejects (3%) by January 1.
 

STEP 4. Develop a plan: Install new semiautomatic welding machine,
               and provide 80 hours training for welders.
 

STEP 5. Control with milestones of progress.
 

     July                                 September                                 January

        |                                             |                                                 |

40 plates worker            50 plates worker                     60 plates worker

 

STEP 6. Evaluate productivity: By January 1, 60 plates are welded in 40 hours
              (50% productivity improvement), while a two-plate rejection rate is
              maintained (40% quality improvement).

3. Where can product or service values be more closely aligned with customer needs ?
4. Where are the unique advantages over competitors' product that could be expanded ?
 
 

C. Personnel Analysis
 

1. Who are the marginal or sub marginal personnel who are draining the resources of the firm ?
