2. Why use metrics
“A system of related measures that facilitates the
quantification of some particular characteristic”
To track performance in successive periods,
Try out new technologies and systems to determine their
merits, identify their problems,
To compare alternative methods, and
To make good decisions.

3. Production Concepts and
Mathematical Models
Production performance metrics:
Production rate Rp for an individual processing or
assembly operation is usually expressed as an hourly rate,
that is, number of work units completed per hour (pc/hr).
Cycle time Tc is defined as the time that one work unit
spends being processed or assembled. It is the time
between when one work unit begins processing or
assembly and when the next unit begins.

5. Operation Cycle Time
Typical cycle time for a production operation:
Tc = To + Th + Tth
where
Tc = cycle time (min/pc),
To = processing time for the operation (min/pc),
Th = handling time (min/pc) (e.g., loading and unloading the
production machine), and
Tth = tool handling time (min/pc) (e.g., time to change tools)

6. Production Rate (batch/job shop/flow)
Batch production:
Batch time Tb = Tsu + QTc
where
Tb= batch processing time (min)
Tsu= setup time to prepare for the batch (min)
Q= batch quantity (pc)
Tc = cycle time per work unit (min/cycle)
Average production time per work unit Tp
Tp = Tb/Q= Tsu/Q + Tc
Hourly production rate Rp = 60/Tp 6
7. Production Rate (batch/job shop/flow)
Job shop production:
For Q = 1, Tp = Tsu + Tc
For Q > 1, Tp is determined as in batch production
Mass production:
Rp Rc = 60/Tc since Tsu/Q 0 (Q is very large)
where
Rc = operation cycle rate of the machine (pc/hr)
Tc = operation cycle time (min/pc)
7
8. Production Rate (batch/job shop/flow)
Flow line production:
Bottleneck station is the station with the largest operation
time (with highest utilization)
Tc = Tr + Max To
Tc = cycle time of the production line (min/cycle)
Tr = time to transfer work units between workstations each
cycle (min/cycle)
Max To = operation time at the bottleneck station
(min/cycle)
Rc = 60/Tc
Rc = theoretical (ideal) production rate (cycles/hr)

9. Production Capacity
“Max rate of output that a production facility is able to produce
under a given set of assumed operating conditions”
Operating conditions:
Number of shifts per day
Number of days per week
Employment levels
A work center is a manufacturing system in the plant typically
consisting of one worker and one machine.
9
10. Production Capacity
Plant capacity for facility in which parts are made in one operation (no = 1):
PC = n Sw Hsh Rp
where
PC = weekly plant capacity (units/wk)
n = number of work centers working in parallel
Sw = number of shifts per week
Hsh = hr/shift
Rp = hourly production rate of each work center (output units/hr)

11. Production Capacity
Plant capacity for facility in which parts require multiple operations (no > 1):
PCw =
where no = number of operations in the routing

nS H R
n

12. Production Capacity
This capacity model assumes that all n machines are producing 100% of
the time and there are no bottleneck operations due to variations in
process routings to inhibit smooth flow of work through the plant.
There are some operations that are fully utilized while other operations
occasionally stand idle waiting for work.
That is, utilization varies.
12
13. Utilization and Availability
Utilization: U =
where Q = quantity actually produced, and PC = plant capacity
“the amount of output of a production facility relative to its capacity”
Utilization can be assessed for an entire plant, a single machine in the
plant or any other productive resource.

14. Utilization and Availability
Availability: A =
where MTBF = mean time between failures, and
MTTR = mean time to repair
“a common measure for reliability of equipment”

16. Manufacturing Lead Time
where
MLTj = manufacturing lead time for part or product j (min)
Tsuji = setup time for operation i (min)
Qj = quantity of part or product j in the batch being processed (pc)
Tcji = operation cycle time for operation i (min/pc)
Tnoji = non-operation time (handling, temporary storage, inspections)
associated with operation i (min)
“the total time required to process a given part/product through the
plant including any lost time due to delays, time spent in storage,
reliability problems, and so on”

17. Manufacturing Lead Time
MLT = no (Tsu + QTc + Tno)
where
MLT = manufacturing lead time,
no = number of operations,
Tsu = setup time,
Q = batch quantity,
Tc = cycle time per part, and
Tno = non-operation time (handling, temporary storage, inspections)

MLT = no (Tsu + Tc + Tno)

MLT = no QTc

MLT = no (Tr + Max To) = no Tc

19. Work-In-Process
WIP =
where WIP = work-in-process, pc;
A = availability,
U = utilization,
PC = plant capacity, pc/wk;
MLT = manufacturing lead time, wk;
Sw = shifts per week,
Hsh = hours per shift, hr/shift
“quantity of parts or products currently located in the factory that are
either being processed or between processing operations”
“the inventory in the state of being transformed from raw material to
finished product”

20. Costs of Manufacturing Operations
Two major categories of manufacturing costs:
1. Fixed costs - remain constant for any output level
2. Variable costs - vary in proportion to production
output level
Adding fixed and variable costs
TC = FC + VC(Q)
where TC = total costs,
FC = fixed costs (e.g., building, equipment, taxes),
VC = variable costs (e.g., labor, materials, utilities),
Q = output level.
20
22. Manufacturing Costs
Alternative classification of manufacturing costs:
1. Direct labor - wages and benefits paid to workers
2. Materials - costs of raw materials
3. Overhead - all of the other expenses associated with
running the manufacturing firm
Factory overhead consists of the costs of operating
the factory other than direct labor and materials.
Corporate overhead is the cost not related to the
company’s manufacturing activities.

26. Cost of Equipment Usage
Hourly cost of worker-machine system:
Co = CL(1 + FOHRL) + Cm(1 + FOHRm)
where
Co = hourly rate, $/hr;
CL = labor rate, $/hr;
FOHRL = labor factory overhead rate,
Cm = machine rate, $/hr;
FOHRm = machine factory overhead rate
