KPIs have been chosen in order to deal with the possibility of improving the utilization of a process manufacturing plant. The objective is to present a new methodology for KPIs. Also methodologies on manufacturing performance measures taken from the literature are used for the solution of improving the utilization. They are discussed on the basis of a manufacturing experience. In this paper, a presentation of these methodologies, a critical evaluation and short examples of applying them are included. The main conclusion of this paper is that the KPIs can be used quantitatively in assessing the manufacturing performance of a company.
