Dear students of Blokko,

As you all have seen, it was possible to practice the game with a simulation.

For that a small set of bricks in a box is available.

Procedure:

• Per ‘factory / Group’ you are able to make a reservation for the box with bricks!
• This can be done at the service desk
• The max time for this is 1 part of the day, either morning or afternoon.
• You have to sign in with name and student number in exchange for your student pass.
• Please be aware of the amount of bricks, if you hand them in it should be the same amount. 
• Hand them in on time.

Performance indicators:

• Always aimed on the essential elements of the processes
  • Throughput is important (appointments concerning deliver performance)
  • Inventory quantities of raw material (delivery reliability)
  • Inventory of final products (delivery reliability depending on CODP)
  • Value of the raw materials and semi manufactured goods (determine the companies financial result)
  • Value of the manufactured goods (determine the companies financial result)
  • Profit per product
  • Profit per product group
  • ……
  • ……

Targets, goals, objectives: all are used to express the will to achieve something

• Mostly related to a performance indicator
• Formulation SMART
  • Specific; e.g. the value of the quantity of the raw material in the ware house
  • Measurable: 10% in regard to the month xxx
  • Acceptable: reduce
  • Realistic: 10% in stead of 50%
  • Time bound: on the first day of the month xx

Example:

On the 1st of November in 2018 the inventory value of raw materials in the warehouse has reduced with 10% in regarding to the 1st of September in 2018.

NOTE:

A goal is something you always want to achieve, so it is not time bound. For example: the techniques used in the ‘process mapping’ will always be used in the visualisation of a process.

A target or objective is considered to be temporary. The thing I want to achieve is only for a certain period of time. For example, your target for this year is to pass your exams in July. So here your objective is time bound!
