The measures most used to evaluate the time performances regard,
especially, the run times, both standard and actual (average values equal about
4.3 and reduced CVs). With the values comprising between 3.7 and 3.4 we find
the measuring/control of the: manufacturing and supplying lead times, order
carrying-out times, inventory turnover, and machinery set-up times. At a lower
level (3.0-3.2) we find the measuring/control of the delivery reliability (both on
the part of the suppliers and the firm towards its customers) and the time-tomarket.
Instead, wait and move times are not often measured, though they have
high CVs (50-60 per cent)
