Data-tracking
computer systems have been implemented at DIFCO to
provide the company with vital information. Managers can identify production
levels, uptime and downtime of process lines, and machine efficiencies. These figures are
printed daily and serve as benchmarks in an attempt to increase productivity and
efficiency.
Integrated
computer systems also track process line cost data on a real-time basis. Such information
provides managers with an up-to-date cost analysis of each production line. Actual cost
per machine cycle is computed and analyzed.
