Manufacturing Capacity and Performance

We all know how hard it is to determine the capacity of a manufacturing facility. The usual approach is to err on the side of caution and underestimate. So, when the chips are down and you need to produce more than ever:

“How do you find out how much capacity you really have”

“How do you know if you have any hidden capacity”

“Are your machines really running at maximum performance”

From our experience, creating an additional 10%-20% extra capacity from your existing resources can be achieved in a 4 month period. Most companies aren’t able to expose their true manufacturing capacity as they aren’t able to see the real losses in their process.
