Abstract: On-time-delivery performance shows a company's ability to react to changes in markets and to launch new products and product families. Purpose of this study was to determine the reasons why calculated on-time-delivery performance differs from actual on-time-delivery performance in case company by defining the external and internal factors, which are mostly decreasing on-time-delivery performance, and the dependencies between virtual factories. Empirical study was carried out as an operation analytic study by describing the actual situation in case company affecting its on-time-delivery performance with a benchmarking comparison. Methods used in study were brainstorming, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and benchmarking.

Keywords: on-time delivery; networking; manufacturing flexibility; agility; delivery performance; virtual factories; benchmarking; brainstorming; analytical hierarchy process; AHP; agile manufacturing; agile management. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
