well with productivity, efficiency and percent value-added time
ratios being consistently over 80% for the previous three years.
This year, total output and input measured R10 200 000 and R10 250
000 respectively. The two production managers of the company,
Ndlovu and Naidoo both had targets for the year; each director is
expected to achieve 40 completed units an hour.
Manager Ndlovu’s team in producing Samsing laptop bags achieved an
output of 37 units per hour while Manager Naidoo’s team,
manufacturing Appol laptop bags, achieved an output of 41 units per
hour. It was noticed the customer service division should take 10
