Abstract: (7 Views)
In recent years, hand-woven carpets have lost their global status. Several problems have caused this issue. One of the important things is the uncertainty of the productivity of handwoven carpet production workshops. Existing productivity measurement methods are quantitative. In this industry, obtaining quantitative data is either not possible or hardly possible. So far, no research has been done for the qualitative evaluation of productivity. As a result, this research has been conducted with the aim of providing a qualitative method for evaluating the productivity of concentrated workshops for the production of handwoven carpets. The statistical populations and sampling methods in the first and second stages was: the experts of handwoven carpets, judgmental method; and the producers of handwoven in Isfahan, randomly method. To determine productivity evaluation indicators, the Delphi method was used, and one-sample t-test was used to evaluate productivity. In this research, a method for evaluating productivity was presented. Two dimensions of effectiveness and efficiency have been considered for productivity. Capital, materials, equipment, methods, management and human resources are indicators of efficiency, and achievement of goals and customer satisfaction are indicators of effectiveness. The results of the t-test show that its productivity, dimensions and components are more than the average but less than the ideal. In order to improve productivity, while reducing the amount of consumables and manpower costs that make up a high percentage of the costs of handwoven carpets, it is necessary to increase outputs by improving work methods and using appropriate tools.
