4. Key performance measures
How will success in the job be measured? These should relate to the principal accountabilities.
Production Quality - FTPY (First Time Pass Yield); RFT (Right First Time); Scrap/Rework Rate; Cp/Cpk (Process Capability); 8D Problem Solving Closed
Production Delivery - Cycle Time; Run at Rate / Takt Compliance; Launch OTIF (On Time, In Full); Aged QNs (Quality Notifications)
Cost & Efficiency - OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness); Cost vs Target
Schedule, Scope & Stakeholders - Projects Managed to Milestones; Effective Internal/External Relationships
Product & process capability and efficiency managed / improved through life cycle
