Abstract

Production Schedule Adherence (PSA) plays a significant role in achieving the efficiency of operations and on time delivery of products in the manufacturing industries. Effective scheduling ensures optimum utilization of the available resources, minimization of delays and increase of productivity of the organization. Machine failure, unavailability of raw materials, shortage of manpower, inefficient planning and improper quality control may delay and disrupt the production. This study focuses on identifying the key factors of Production Schedule Adherence using quantitative research. Data from 150 respondents were collected using structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, normality test, Spearman’s Rank Correlation, Multiple regression analysis, Pareto analysis and Five Whys analysis were used to analyze the effect of the various factors on PSA.

Keywords: Production Schedule Adherence, Manufacturing Efficiency, Machine Breakdown, Preventive Maintenance, Production Planning, Quality Management.
