TLDR
In this article, the authors developed a framework to analyse congruence of manufacturing decision areas in a production system, based on the literature review, 54 decision types and alternative decision choices for each decision type are identified.Abstract:
A well designed production system secures environmental and internal fit. Environmental fit in a production system refers to alignment of manufacturing decisions to the external settings such as product and market. Internal fit implies that manufacturing decisions are mutually supportive. This paper develops a framework to analyse congruence of manufacturing decision areas in a production system. The framework considers six broad manufacturing decision areas. Based on the literature review, 54 decision types and alternative decision choices for each decision type are identified. The subjective and/or objective constructs to measure decision type are presented which should be useful in designing construct and in data gathering to conduct empirical research. Using the proposed framework, many research questions concerning the settings of several decision types for a specific type of production system can be generated and empirically tested.read more

Framework to evaluate manufacturing capability using analytical hierarchy process
TL;DR: The approach facilitates computation of manufacturing capability index by evaluating the decisions taken in the manufacturing, which is then mapped into four levels, namely, infant, industry average, adult, and world class as proposed by the Miltenburg.

Exploratory case studies on manufacturing decision areas in the job production system
TL;DR: In this article, a case study research approach is used to investigate the decisions of five manufacturing companies that satisfy the characteristics of job production system and identify process specific decisions for job shop and non-process specific decisions that are influenced by other contextual factors.

An empirical analysis of the product-process matrix
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether firms actually link their process choice to product customization and other competitive priorities as hypothesized, and whether compatible decision patterns lead to better performance, and found that process choice is highly related with the degree of product customization, and also with the emphasis placed on the quality and cost competitive priorities.

A survey and taxonomy of strategy‐related performance measures for manufacturing
TL;DR: A taxonomy which categorizes 125 different strategy‐related measures that were found through a survey of accounting, manufacturing and managerial literature finds that the largest number of measures have been proposed for the competitive priority of flexibility and the fewest for delivery reliability.
