efficiency spreadsheet draws attention to the bottlenecks and the steps in LAA’s process that are less comparatively efficient. The first half of the table shows the average number of samples that can be processed by each worker per hour for each step per hour. This is based off of the amount of time it takes for each step to process 1‚000 samples. Initially‚ the table indicates that the Testing process takes the longest; however‚ to find the bottlenecks and the available capacities we must also consider

the company’s efforts should be if Beck wants to expand capacity. Determine how much extra capacity he can get without causing another operation to become the bottleneck. From the calculations on the above table‚ it is clear to see that the boring machine center is the bottleneck since that is the limiting factor to production. The bottleneck is “the department‚ workstation‚ or operation that limits the flow of product through the production system. This department restricts the flow of product from

Quick Changeover (SMED) As lean production is dependent upon small lot sizes‚ small lot sizes are dependent upon quick changeovers. If set-ups or changeovers are lengthy‚ it is mathematically impossible to run small lots of parts with low inventory because large in-process inventories must be maintained to feed production during changeovers. For example‚ large stamping dies commonly took hours to change until the development of quick die change methods (Single Minute Exchange of Die‚ or SMED).

a wise investment‚ since Station 1 was in danger of becoming a bottleneck in production. Station 1 Utilization One of our team members conducted a full operations analysis. Using the analysis‚ demand for the 268 days of production was forecasted‚ and our strategy set accordingly. Day 71 On Day 71 Station 3 suddenly spiked to full capacity. The team made a rash decision to buy a 2nd machine at station 3 to avoid a bottleneck. The increase on Day 71 turned out to be a random spike; almost
