The growth of the world's population expanded the market. But that growth also increased the number of people sharing limited resources. Competition in manufacturing heated up, and it keeps heating up at an accelerating pace. In this competitive environment, using existing resources more effectively has become increasingly important. As is well known, using resources effectively means raising productivity.
From an energy standpoint, in the Universe — and on Earth, which is part of it — there are infinitely many living and non-living energy conversion systems. Through these systems, infinitely many energy conversions take place at every moment. By conversion and system we mean the energy(ies) entering the system (the energy(ies) being converted) and the energy(ies) leaving the system (the energy(ies) converted into). We can show the system in general as in the figure below.
In our previous article we defined productivity by showing an energy conversion system model with a single energy input and a single energy output (see: WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY? (1)). In the same article, to make productivity easier to grasp, we described it as At the end of that article we wrote that we would critique this representation and redefine productivity with a new system representation.
As Arge Bilişim, we would like to share with you the 'line balancing module' we designed to meet a very important need in factories. First, let us briefly touch on what line balancing is.
ABSTRACT. Today, as in many sectors, intense competition is experienced in the garment sector. In labor-intensive businesses such as garment companies, employee performance directly affects business performance and therefore the business's competitiveness. For this reason, bonus systems built on key performance indicators such as productivity and quality are important for encouraging increases in employee productivity. However, for such bonus systems to work effectively, employee performance must be measured correctly and a fair distribution system is needed. This study proposes a computer-aided bonus system model for direct employees in garment businesses, built on productivity and quality performance criteria and composed of time + piece-rate + profit-sharing components.
• Increasing productivity through a well-ordered workflow
Our General Manager Hulisi Ayluçtarhan, who took part as a panelist in the event held under the title 'TİHCAD 5th SUSTAINABILITY MEETINGS' organized by TİHCAD and Istanbul Nişantaşı University, assessed digitalization in the context of sustainability. Hulisi Ayluçtarhan's observations and assessments are as follows.
We get the opportunity to run analyses in many factories. Recently we visited a factory. As we commonly encounter at companies, the biggest problem here too was that productivity was being measured incorrectly.
