A method for evaluating management capability of workshop production scheduling

The management capability of workshop production scheduling has been recognized as one of the important factors for the resource efficiency, delivery time and customer satisfaction of manufacturing enterprises. Therefore, a method for evaluating the management capability of production scheduling is proposed to optimize the production management. The accuracy, timeliness and effectiveness of production scheduling are measured by the formulation, execution, change and completion of the management process of production. The index model for management capability of production scheduling is established, which was driven by the data of actual production. Then, (1) scheduling generation time index, (2) scheduling execution deviation index, (3) scheduling change index and (4) scheduling completion index are built to quantitatively evaluate the capacity of production scheduling management. Finally, the usefulness and feasibility have been proved in an automobile parts–manufacturing enterprise. This article quantitatively evaluates the management capability of production scheduling. Both theoretical and results are demonstrated that the method is highly effective. The evaluation can help decision makers to better organize the production scheduling
