Bottleneck Detection - Engpassanalyse (1 Tag), Inhouse, Lean Praxisseminar

Learn professional Bottleneck Detection and Bottleneck Analysis in production systems.

In many production systems, the real bottlenecks are not properly identified. Instead, attention is often focused on the processes that appear most visible or problematic. In this training, you will learn modern methods of Bottleneck Detection, bottleneck analysis, and process optimization to accurately identify and improve the true constraint within your manufacturing operations.

Understand the root causes of Performance Bottlenecks in production systems.

You will discover why traditional average-based metrics and standard KPIs often lead to incorrect conclusions during bottleneck analysis. Instead, you will learn scientifically validated methods for identifying production bottlenecks, performance bottlenecks, throughput losses, and hidden system constraints.

Apply Bottleneck Walks and digital Bottleneck Detection methods.

We will introduce two powerful methods for bottleneck identification and performance analysis:

• The Bottleneck Walk – a practical shopfloor-based method for rapidly identifying bottlenecks through direct observation in real production environments.
• The Active Period Method – a data-driven digital method for precise Bottleneck Detection and Performance Analysis in complex production systems.

Both Lean Manufacturing and troubleshooting methods are applied in hands-on exercises using realistic production simulations.

Learn effective Bottleneck Management for sustainable process optimization.

Identifying a bottleneck is only the first step. This training also covers proven methods of Bottleneck Management that help systematically reduce production bottlenecks, improve throughput, increase operational efficiency, and enhance manufacturing performanceoften without requiring additional machine investments.
