Measures Of Performance

The theory of constraints has the potential to increase throughput significantly, using existing resources. It consists of seven focusing steps that, when applied, can create extra capacity in operating rooms, emergency departments, imaging services, labs, and so on. The seven steps are simple, intuitive, and easy to implement. This chapter discusses the first three steps of the theory of constraints: determining the system’s goal, establishing global performance measures, and identifying the system constraint. Tools are provided for identifying bottlenecks and determining measures of performance for the system. It also introduces the cost-utilization diagram that provides managers with a full-system view.

Control Tool

Performance measures are a control tool used to navigate and guide managers in the organization. In many situations, an appropriate change of performance measures can bring upon fast and significant improvements in the organization’s performance, thus enhancing its value. This chapter presents the global performance measures that can help managers to focus on activities that need to be improved, which include throughput, operating expenses, inventory, response time, quality, and due-date performance. The global performance measures can be used to measure the whole organization as well as its departments. In organizations where local performance measures such as efficiencies exist, it is essential to implement a set of global performance measures.

The Impact

Abstract Variable stiffness robots may provide an effective way of trading-off between safety and speed during physical human–robot interaction. In such a compromise, the impact force reduction capability and maximum safe speed are two key performance measures. To quantitatively study how dynamic parameters such as mass, inertia, and stiffness affect these two performance measures, performance indices for impact force reduction capability and maximum speed of variable stiffness robots are proposed based on the impact ellipsoid in this paper. The proposed performance indices consider different impact directions and kinematic configurations in the large. Combining the two performance indices, the global performance of variable stiffness robots is defined. A two-step optimization method is designed to achieve this global performance. A two-link variable stiffness link robot example is provided to show the efficacy of the proposed method.
