➧ TEXT:
(Title)
1 Production bottlenecks are generally considered to be
temporary blockades to increased output; they can
be thrown up anywhere along the course of a production process. Some are easy to identify and to remedy,
while others are devilish.
2 The bottleneck that is easy to cope ___ is
stationary. Work-in-process inventory piles ___ quickly behind it; clearly, little is getting through.
Its cause is usually also clear – a machine has broken ___ or key workers are absent or demand
has simply outstripped the clear, rated capacity of a
machine – and the remedy follows easily. Such bottlenecks often occur ___ service operations, causing customer waits.
3 More subtle are bottlenecks that shift from one part
of the process to another or that have no clear cause.
Inventories build up in different places and at different
times. Such bottlenecks creep up on management
and demand more thorough investigation. Perhaps
they were detected as flaws in a product’s quality
caused inadvertently by one or more workers trying to
keep pace with production demands that should not
have been placed on them. Or, they may be caused
by missing parts. They may be caused by new product
startup or changes in the mix of products through the
factory. In such cases the remedies are less clear-cut,
and some analysis is called for.
