    Abstract

    By using advanced manufacturing processes, production results should increase. Nevertheless managers have their doubts to invest in such processes because of the financial risks and the absence of adequate technical and economical measures which should support their decisions. Measures which contain the advances of sophisticated manufacturing process, like quality and flexibility increase, have not yet been developed. Starting with the mass balance, a technical measure has been derived, called the transformation factor, which is a measure for the productive behaviour of a manufacturing process. By using data from the production floor as well as from simulations, the practical usefulness of the transformation factor as measure is shown.
