ALGORITHM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

摘要

Most manufacturing industries lack the understanding or knowledge of their productivity levels; this is due to the fact that they do not have necessary tools to assist them in measuring their performance. This paper introduces a performance measuring tool called an early warning system which manufacturing industries can adopt and use for measuring their performances, a detailed process of extracting and populating an Early Warning System (EWS) as well as the benefits are discussed in this paper. Lastly, the algorithm describing the steps involved was as well considered. The system would serve as a tool in detecting the industries' productivity levels in order to identify the factors affecting productivity.
