Title

Design of a systematic methods improvement planning methodology: part I - a shift to a multiple criteria approach for productivity gains

Abstract

There are a large number of methods analysis techniques available with numerous potential benefits. In order to determine which techniques to use it is important to consider the specific benefits associated with each improvement technique and the costs of using that technique. Multiple-criteria approaches can be used to assist methods analysts to determine which techniques to apply for the most cost effective improvements. Many multiple-criteria approaches have been developed to date; however, they have not been used to assist in selecting methods analysis techniques. A prioritization model based on an additive value function is recommended for use in this context. This model uses both quantitative and subjective assessments of various methods improvement criteria in order to provide a guide for managers to systematically pursue productivity improvements.
