Abstract
This article reports on a survey conducted in Belgian industry. The pu rpose was to get insight into manufacturing objectives, performance me asurement systems and improvement programmes. It turns out that qualit y is dealt with very consistently. But in many cases time-based object ives are not yet supported by consistent time-based performance criter ia and/or time-based improvement actions.
