A Performance

In order to face a competitive business environment, companies need to implement new strategies. Each flow measurement strategies need to be determined their level of success. So that a company needs to do a performance measurement in order to measure the level of success of the company. At this time, the financial performance indicators are considered no longer sufficient as a performance measurement system of the company, because it is not considered accurate in giving an assessment of the development of the company. In addition, it is not giving a clear picture about the focus and objectives of the company in the future. So we need a new paradigm in the measurement of the performance of companies in the information age today.<br />This study aims to provide a discussion of the application of the Balanced Scorecard in the manufacturing industry in Indonesia. Given this example is expected that many companies in Indonesia which eventually attracted and can also take benefit. Researchers establish a manufacturing company as a research subject with the consideration that the manufacturing company has the scope of the most complex operations when compared with service companies and trade. Research on the application of balanced scorecard will be conducted in three selected manufacturing companies, namely PT Cahaya Harapan Satya Printing, CV Global Mandiri and PT Tanindo Sukses Makmur.<br />The three companies have a Balanced Scorecard approach is a bit different, but still using the same four perspectives. Determination of the weight and the score is determined by the company taking into account the targets to be achieved for each perspective. The indicators used for each perspective also vary, depending on the target to be achieved, and the types of indicators can also vary. The three companies produce varying value Balanced Scorecard. For PT Cahaya Harapan Satya CV Printing and Global Mandiri has demonstrated good performance, but for PT Sukses Makmur Tanindo has not shown good performance. For PT Cahaya Harapan Satya CV Printing and Global Mandiri, this performance can be maintained. As for PT Sukses Makmur Tanindo performance should soon be upgraded to the condition with the category A, which is healthy.<br />Keywords: Balanced Scorecard, manufacture, key performance indicator

Productivity plays a significant role for most companies in order to measure the efficiency. In reality there is an essential need to evaluate the different factors which increasing productivity and achieving the high level of quality, high production rate , machine utilization. On the other hand, manufacturing companies are striving to sustain their competitiveness by improving productivity and quality of manufacturing industry. So it can be acquired by finding ways to deal with various industrial problems which have affected the productivity of manufacturing systems. This paper aims at applying statistical analysis and computer simulation to recognize and to weight the significance of different factors in the production line. Based on the final result the two factors which are B (Number of labor) and C (Failure time of lifter) have the most significant effect on the manufacturing system productivity. In order to achieve the maximum productivity the factors should be placed on the levels which are: A= -1, B=1, C=1 and D=1. This means that the service rate of mixer = UNIF (20, 40), number of labor=20, failure time of lifter =60 min and number of permil=5 respectively.

To compete effectively in the global marketplace of the twenty-first century, manufacturing companies are trying to maintain a high level of flexibility and responsiveness to achieve agility and to remain competitive. Manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to improve productivity and quality while reducing costs. The new competition is in terms of reduced cost, improved quality products with higher performance, a wider range of products and better services all delivered simultaneously to enhance value to customers. In such environment providing good quality product at low cost for a medium scale industry has become very tough. To provide good quality product at low cost, small industries need a formulation of some manufacturing approaches like agile manufacturing to manufacture defect free products within their materials cost limit. Medium scale steel manufacturing industries like Magnum steel limited (MSL), banmore are facing problems of higher rejections in form of wastes so as to increase their cost. This paper aims to analyze the application of agile manufacturing in magnum steel limited in order to reduce wastages through implementing lean tools and techniques. An agility audit questionnaire is used for assessing the agility level of the company to identify the current level of performance within the company with respect to the key elements of agility. MSL’s agile experience is reported including a list of recommendation for improving its competitiveness to offer solution alternatives not only to the current problems but also to the ones that may be encountered in the future.
