This blog dives into the subject of manufacturing optimization. It’s almost inevitable though that there will be a bottleneck process within the series of steps needed to make the product. Optimizing this bottleneck process so more can flow through increases output from the whole production operation and lets it run more efficiently.

This blog explains what the term means and introduces the technology involved. Whereas analysis was once the domain of engineers with spreadsheets, today it is being taken over by real-time data analytics tools. Productivity Improvements in availability and quality reduce the impact of bottlenecks on output.

This blog explains takt time in manufacturing. When setting up a new production line: The cycle time of the bottleneck operation must be at least equal to the takt time. For planning maintenance activities: Preventive maintenance should be focused on the bottleneck operation to avoid breakdowns eating into available time.
