Abstract
In measuring the global performance of a production system two problems are relevant. The first one is represented by the individuation of a meaningful set of indicators and the second one by the choice of the connected weights system. In this paper, we highlights the advantages of the integration of the Analytical Hierarchical Process and the use of a simulation tool of a production system. The procedure of such integration is explained with more considerations given to its possible dual application, by top managers and systems’ designers, to firstly predict the possible changes of production system and then take reasonable courses of action to individuate the best configuration. Moreover, we have tested the proposed methodology for an Italian firm.
