Bottlenecks, part 1

December 11, 2021January 14, 2022 6 Comments

Almost 15 years ago I had the opportunity to attend a 4 day seminar with the authors of the well known book “Factory Physics” LINK In the opening session we talked about what is limiting factory performance and sure enough bottlenecks came up. The question was asked , what can be done to improve a…… Continue reading Bottlenecks, part 1
