Stanley Johnson--HOW DOES MY PRODUCTIVITY RESULT MEASURE UP TO WHAT IS BEING ACHIEVED IN OTHER PLANTS IN THE CORRUGATED INDUSTRY?
There is no simple answer to this question of performance evaluation. Nevertheless, this question continues to be asked by operating crews, plant supervision, plant management, and corporate management. As companies strive for continuous improvement, there is a need to know not only if current results are getting better than they were, but also if the results are keeping pace with what is happening in the rest of the industry. Additionally,
as companies attempt to determine benchmarks for their future success, there is a need to know how the “top performers” are doing.
