McMackin's Productivity Management Guide: FOR SHOP FLOOR OPERATIONS

Since productivity only takes place at the point of work execution, the discipline of productivity management must also take place at this point and be applied as work progresses during the shift. Productivity cannot be managed after the fact.

MCMACKINS PRODUCTIVITY MANGEMENT GUIDE provides the path needed to implement this dynamic discipline in-house, using existing assets. Immediate increases in productivity and profit performance are achievable if the guidelines in this book are followed. This is not rocket science but a straightforward discipline designed to gain maximum performance from each asset being tracked.

Productivity management does not schedule parts to assets but, through a special follow-up discipline, gains maximum achievable productivity at each asset being managed, once the part number is assigned to the asset.
