Abstract

Lean concepts that many companies use to pursue business goals are based on key performance indicators coming directly from the manufacturing floor. These KPI’s such as availability, efficiency, productivity, throughput, capacities, and changeovers are essential in determining the performance of support and fundamental areas. Moreover, engineering management techniques should be applied to educate people to focus their work on these KPI’s. This will definitively ensure positive results to meet the companies goals. Once employees are engaged in the specific steps that occur between the process and result, it allows for a better understanding on how to deal with the production bottlenecks that can affect these key indicators. This research intends to provide detailed data about how KPI’s can increase after these key principles are integrated on the manufacturing lines and gain support from management and employees alike. This increase in performance will directly impact the organization and can assist in providing transparency to the areas that need improvement allowing for continuous operations as deemed necessary. Following this action plan, with the support from the management team, the manufacturing personnel could benefit from these key performance indicators thus assisting these employees with achieving the organizations goals.
