Lean Manufacturing Tools

How to eliminate bottleneck. In previous artcle we discussed about bottleneck in production process. Now we will see How to eliminate bottleneck ? How to eliminate bottleneck is very important in manufacturing. Bottleneck removal in lean manufacturing is a very crucial task for management. How to eliminate bottleneck in manufacturing is important not only for productivity but also for smooth operations flow on line. For reducing WIP on production line, it is the important question that... How to eliminate bottleneck? Bottleneck analysis is important for the bottleneck elimination in manufacturing. How to eliminate bottleneck  in production line without having much inventory in process line is target for management.  Following are some goals of the bottleneck analysis. GOALS OF THE BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS : Identification of the key bottlenecks in manufacturing process. Relevant quantitative data collection for bottlneck analysis. Exploring possible solutions for bottleneck root c...

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...
