Assessing quality of manufacturing organizations - a Graph Theoretic Approach

The aim of this paper to assess the manufacturing industries by determining a single numerical index with the help of Graph Theoretic Approach (GTA). To apply the Graph theoretic approach the authors identified the factors and co-factors through an intense literature survey and determined interdependence between them. The factors are grouped into four main factors namely Human Resource; Material, Machine and Methodology; Planning and Organization; Work culture. The GTA methodology reveals a numerical index showing the best industry.
