Abstract: This paper presents the results of a case study. The case study is the application of an approach to the measurement and optimisation of total productivity within a manufacturing plant. Specifically, the approach has been designed to assist manufacturing managers explore the direction and magnitude of the relationship between appropriate input parameters and manufacturing performance. The case study demonstrates how a relationship can be formed between plant inputs and output and how this can be used to maximise the total output/input productivity ratio.
