Bottlenecks occur in every manufacturing plant. We usually find that everyone from site managers to production operators know what the bottleneck "is." The problem is that frequently - different people believe the bottleneck is in different locations. With an inconsistent view on production bottlenecks, various parts of the organization may take nonconstructive or even detrimental actions to the overall production rate.
Bottlenecks can be dynamic and change on a daily basis. One day a lack of a raw material may be the bottleneck, on another day unscheduled downtime in a production area, on another day a rate reduction in another area, the more complex the manufacturing process the greater number of potential bottlenecks.
The limiting factor of production on any given day depends on which equipment is down, which processes are difficult to control, quality of incoming raw materials, the most recent production requirement from sales. This effect is further compounded when one process feeds another in a manufacturing plant.
Synchronous experts are well positioned to help you understand the factors that affect your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and to map and manage your dynamic bottlenecks.
