Improving customer delivery performance and job scheduling at a manufacturing SME

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) need to adopt effective supply chain management practices to deliver reliable performance. Customer delivery performance (CDP) is a commonly used key performance indicator to measure how effectively customer’s promised delivery dates are met. Achieving a go...
