In today’s competitive and ever changing global market, industry continuously faces the challenge of manufacturing as lean and efficiently as possible to achieve optimum performance and drive down operating costs.

It is fundamental in any manufacturing concern that the prime mover or the “bottleneck asset” the machine or process dictating throughput on a production line is neither starved of material nor blocked due to any issues upstream or downstream respectively. Inventory on the factory floor needs to be converted into finished goods as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In any company the main focus is to increase profit (improve the bottom line figure for stakeholders & investors) and this can only be achieved through optimum plant performance. Thought needs to be put into the design of a production line that equipment is sized correctly around the primary machine and the handling of product between processes flows with adequate buffering and proper line control.
