Bottleneck in production process.
BOTTLENECK IN PRODUCTION PROCESS- Bottleneck in production process , is a process whose limited capacity reduces, delays or stops the flow of operation and affects the capacity of overall manufacturing processes. Almost every system has a bottleneck . The machine with the longest queue of accumulated input for processing is usually a bottleneck in production process. It is important to identify the bottleneck machine or process and to remove or reduce the waiting time for next operation so as to achieve the desired targets in manufacturing processes. Here discussed the various types of bottleneck in production process. Types of Bottleneck in production process: 1.Short-term Bottleneck: These are caused by temporary problems. Short-term bottlenecks do not need regular attention. 2.Long-term Bottleneck: Long-term bottlenecks occur all the time. These have substantial impacts on the overall manufacturing processes. Long-term bottl...
