The global competition in twenty-first century presents a challenging and dynamic workplace environment where Quality, Productivity & Safety parameters along with other related parameters is being continuously redefined. Hence, there is a need for identifying the challenges in manufacturing industries for their performance improvement. The purpose of this paper is to develop, analyse & validate a model for performance measures by developing an instrument for facilitating the implementation process in manufacturing industries in India. Survey methodology is being used for data collection. The identified measures were subjected to appropriate statistical tests to establish reliability & validity. After an exhaustive study, 6 performance measures were identified for analysis. The validated instrument developed may be used in manufacturing industries for performance improvements.
