Bottlenecks

So, if there are bottlenecks in your operation, then identifying these bottlenecks becomes essential because it leads to the loss in revenue, increased waiting time between different operations, loss in the customers and finally the poor quality of product will be produced. So identifying them and fixing them becomes at most important. So without wasting any further time, let'start our today video on bottleneck analysis. So We will first understand t How to deal with t So if you are watc So in t What is t So before we j So bottleneck is that particular area in a production line w Bottle neck in a production work the same way as a physical bottle. So in t Rate occurs when the n So bottleneck basically leads to loss in the revenue. Your increase waiting time between different operations, the poor quality of product will be produced and finally there will be loss in the customers. Let us take one manufacturing example here. So in t Now in that is why mac So there are two types of bottleneck, short term bottleneck and long term bottleneck. The short term bottleneck are basically caused by temporary problems. It will only remain for a shorter period of time. It could be the operator is missing for a certain period of time resulting in the lot of pile up of work or delay in the saving materials from another vendor or it could be the obstruction in your supply chain or limited staff due to some festival holidays. Long term bottleneck are w It remains for a long time. It affects your production line, your capacity by huge margin and they may also result in the loss in the revenue. That is why they are considered as a major bottleneck. It could because of the lack of appropriate technologies, limited funds and resources, unorganized workforce, less trained workers, lean manufacturing techniques w So now that you have understood t So bottleneck analysis is a process of identifying a bottleneck where the actual problem is occurring and the work that we need to complete a particular task is taking longer than the expected time. So instead of finding the symptoms, let us try to find the root cause and understand where the actual bottleneck is occurring. After completing all t Now we can look for some potential solutions. Some common bottleneck analysis tools that we can use include are 5Y root cause analysis where you ask the question 5 times to come to the root cause. Another tool can be the fishbone diagram w Another tool could be theory of constraint w But these are the some tools but what are the main two causes of the one is your poor line balancing. That means some jobs are taking longer time than expected or are running slower. As a result, there is a huge pile of material and then we have the inadequate process controls. That means the equipment does not run and it was designed to run. Now how do you deal with these potential bottlenecks? One is your increase addition capacity. So if bottleneck is because of there is a huge pile up of work then you can increase your workforce here. Adding in additional workforce will eliminate the bottleneck problem. Then we have to eliminate the non-value added steps here. So there are some steps w So we have to find those steps eliminate waste because of t Additional workforce. So additional workforce or additional capacity means the same t And finally we have the balance production line. It is often possible that your production line is not balanced. That means some workstations are more overloaded and some are less overloaded. So you need to balance your production line accordingly. So before we look at the benefits, if you And if you have any specific question or comment you can leave your questions in the comment section below. So the first benefit that we have it helps in eliminating the waste. So bottleneck are often caused by unnecessary or inefficient processes w So if you identify what is your bottleneck and you remove it through your analysis you help in eliminating your waste. It streamline your processes. So once It helps in reducing your inventory. Minimize the poor quality of products. It reduces your downtime and increases the overall production capacity w So if you are still watc You can also watch my other videos here and don't forget to
