ABSTRACT PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT IN A SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZE MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN GAZİANTEP GÜLBAY, Murat M. S in Industrial Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ismail Hakkı ÖZSABUNCUO?LU September 1 998, 99 pages In this thesis, a study on the productivity measurement in a small and medium- size manufacturing company is presented. An application is performed at two departments of a medium-size textile manufacturing company in Gaziantep. The ultimate motivation of this study is the data collection required in order to determine productivity measures. To achieve this, daily production reports are prepared and filled in May 1998. Three basic types of the productivity indicators; partial productivity, total-factor productivity, and total productivity measures are calculated. A computer program is written using Delphi 3.0 client/server programming language in order to prevent more paperwork and provide quick monitoring of the required productivity measures. Productivity measures are evaluated by storing and compiling all the data collected by the program.
