Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present a concept for creating a model for
solution of the project focused increasing the efficiency of production
processes. The approach is based on performance evaluation with the
emphasis laid on efficiency and effectiveness. The solution is based on a
model, implementing the interconnection and assessment of other important
dimensions, in particular those of the customer, producer, market,
environment and business ethics. The conceptual solution, the created
model, and experimentation with the model as well, supported the
anticipated possibilities of obtaining the real values of performance in the
production processes.
1 Introduction
Increasing the performance of processes is undoubtedly one of the most
important means of growth, or at least of sustainability of company’s competitiveness.
Lesáková (2004) defines business performance as the “ability of an enterprise to
achieve the desired effects and outputs, if possible in measurable units”. In measuring
and assessing performance of an organization as well as performance of various
operations, it is advisable to use the indicators of efficiency and effectiveness. Drucker
(2012) defines “effectiveness” as doing the right things and “efficiency” as doing the
things in the right way. In addition to effectiveness and efficiency, the indicator referred
to as “economy” – minimization of costs – is also assessed within the area of

by Khayrullina et al. (2015, p. 77) who declared that by “using the model-calculated
integrated value and observations about its change over time, we can estimate
continuous improvement trends of an enterprise”. In another work Taticchi (Taticchi,
Tonelli and Cagnazzo, 2010) indicate a problem with the ‘‘effectiveness of PMM
models’’ in the SME context. They declared that “future research will focus on the
creation of early conditions for PMM models’ ” (Taticchi et al., 2010). These literature
sources serve only as theoretical bases for solution of the given task.

3 Results
The construction of the models was done with available software. The model is
ready, quick, easily customisable, user-friendly, flexible and open. The model’s input is
the space (or spaces, tables) of the entered or measured values and parameters. The
input values into the model are entered by managers, authorised experts, or trained
technical-economic workers of the company. The model has two inputs: the input of the
internal model (or several models) as well as the input of a more robust external model.
Using two inputs allows experimentation, not only by changing parameters on one of
them but also by parallel changes on both inputs.

number of sub-products in which a mistake resulting from the previous process was
found. They can be usually marked as non-repairable and are excluded from production.
Some of them are partially repairable but transferred to the lower quality class. Number
of such products always decreases the level of efficiency and production effectiveness.
The values in the line number six marked as “Returned to be repaired (repairable
mistake)” express quantity of received semi-products from the previous process which
contain a repairable mistake. They are returned to the previous process to be repaired.
The values in the seventh line marked as “Internal customer satisfaction” express point
assessment of sub-products received from the previous process (subjective expression
of internal customer satisfaction). The values in the eighth line marked as “Passed to the
next operation” show quantity of sub-products which are processed within the specific
process and passed to the next one. In the next lines of the table 1, input parameters in
all the consequent processes are expressed in a similar way.
If input data are entered to the model (Table 1), model calculates individual
partial parameters and also total parameter as well.
In table 2 partial parameters P1_in to P4_in are calculated for each day in a week, on
each line, i.e. for all four monitored production sub-processes. In each process also
parameter PEss_in is calculated for a particular process. Based on above mentioned partial
parameters an output parameter PEss_IN is calculated on the output of an internal model.
These parameters were measured or calculated at the boundary-lines of individual
internal suppliers and internal customers.
Table 3 shows output parameters of internal model for a specific time period. In
the presented situation it is one week. It is proper to assess the above mentioned
parameters for each day and also for the whole week. In the line marked as “Value”
(Table 3) final values of parameters of effectiveness of individual monitored processes
1 to 4 are shown. Parameter PEss_IN expresses total effectiveness in the production
process inside the company. In this case individual parameters included into calculation
are understood as parameters having the same importance. Parameter PEss_IN will be
adapted as one of the relevant parameters for external model. Parameter “Weight”
shows relative importance of applied indicator. It enables managers to determine
importance of individual production processes and include it into the total assessment of
production process performance. Parameter “Weighted value” expresses cumulative
summary of weighted partial parameters. They express effectiveness of individual
processes. Consequently, based on these weighted values, the final cumulative value of
parameter PEss_IN is calculated. Parameter Result (PEss_IN) presents final internal
effectiveness in production process which considers importance of individual processes.
The first major output of the internal model will be the effectiveness of the internal
parameter. In the case which is being solved here – production of knitwear products
with four main processes the value of parameter PEss_IN is equal to 0,98315. The second
output is the parameter of internal efficiency. In the company during the monitored
period the value of the parameter of internal efficiency PEcy was also assessed by
experts. These will be used as input parameters of the external model.

4 Discussion
Every business has its own specifications. The model must be able to accept the
indicated specifications. But it also must be able to provide some data for comparison
with other companies on the market. The performance evaluation model, with an
established emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness, reflects dimensions such as
quality, performance, innovation, service and their most important indicators. The
solution is based on an actual model, implementing the interconnection and assessment
of other important dimensions, in particular those of the customer, producer, market,
environment and business ethics. The number of dimensions, their direction and priority
can be set according to the specific conditions and requirements of the model user.
Presented model is able to respond flexibly to the changes of production
processes in a company. It also provides data and graphical representation of production
processes output. Actually, the measurements, computations and experiments will help
managers to find quick and effective corrective measures. They will also enable the
monitoring, verifying and analysing of various anticipated situational conditions. The
process of developing the specified model was not a simple matter or time-efficient. But
developing and experimenting with a model of efficiency in production processes is
much less expensive than experimenting with an actual system. In the foreground is the
requirement for simplicity and the possibility to adapt the model to the conditions of an
actual company. It may be presupposed that the model will generate important
information about a company that is often otherwise unavailable. The creation of one's
own model, a so-called tailor-made model, is one of the directions of the development
and implementation of an open system of specific models for decision-making support
in a company.
