Abstract
Two distinct models of delivery reliability versus delivery speed
are tested. On the basis of data from a survey of 193 manufacturing
firms, factors associated with the “planning” systems of
firms, such as production‐plan goals achieved, inventory goals achieved,
and master schedule performance, were found to have a significant effect
on delivery reliability. In follow‐up interviews with 13 plant managers;
it was found that “process”‐related factors were associated
with delivery speed capabilities. Specifically, the biggest inroads to
be made into delivery speed are first on the design/manufacturing
interface, secondly on the subsequent “translation” of these
designs to supplier requirements, and lastly on the production floor in
terms of process layout.
