Basic activities done during the last two weeks

Section 1: Leather Goods and Garment Factories visit

Visit objective:

To distinguish the basic business/production processes that reduces the

productivity of the factories.

To know the highlight of the current performance of the goods & garment

or glove manufacturing factories.

To collect basic information that enables us set priorities for the business

processes intended to be improved (benchmarked)

Obtained Information (out put)

Current performance of the visited factories.

Problems revealed in some major production process of the factories that

have been visited.

Criterion 1

A focus area that is applied by most of the leather goods and garment or glove

factories in which there are basic problems that directly affect the production process

and /or the product and /or the productivity of the factories to a maximumextent is given

a highest priority (when qualitatively measured ) or a maximum weight ( when

quantitatively measured).

Criterion 2


factories in which there are basic problems that directly affect the production process

and /or the product and/or the productivity of the factories to someextent is given a high

priority or high weight

Criterion 3


factories in which there are basic problems that indirectly affect the production process

and /or the product and/or the productivity of the factories to a maximumextent is given

a highest priority or maximum weight

Criterion 4

A focus area (critical activity) that is used by most of the above factories in which there

are problems that indirectly affect the production process and/or the product and /or the

productivity of these factories to someextent is given a highpriority orweight

Criterion 5

A critical focus area that is used by (located in) somefactories in which there are

problems that directly orindirectly affect the production process and/or the product

and/or the productivity of the above factories to someextent but frequently is given a
