ABSTRACT
The manufacturing cost policy deployment (MCPD) refers to engage the workforce to execute the cost strategy based on the annual plan for MCI previously developed, at cost improvement performance management and at daily cost management (DCM). The purpose of MCPD is to implement the plan of means to meet manufacturing cost improvement (MCI) targets, together with the current operational activities. However, the MCPD covers the last few steps of the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. The successful implementation of solutions for meeting MCI targets depends on continuous monitoring of activities for systematic improvement and of actions for systemic improvement. The successful implementation of solutions for meeting MCI targets depends on continuous monitoring of activities for systematic improvement and of actions for systemic improvement. Periodically, it requires a careful examination of the consumed resources as compared with the planned ones and a verification of whether the projects of improvement in the time limit originally set are compliant.
