Production Inefficiencies

Management often think that production inefficiencies are the fault of the production staff. In reality, they may be caused by other departments, senior managers, etc.​ A way to identify the true root cause of inefficiencies is to formally measure a number of areas that may impact production’s ability to deliver the expected efficiency and performance.​

 

 Examples include:​

Production plan & production schedule stability as set at an agreed point in time​

Lead time violations​

Lot size violations​

Production sequences as they relate to efficiency expectations​

Product costing approach not aligned with physical production realities​

​

You can tell if this is a problem as you will regularly see:

• Manufacturing & production plans and detailed schedules are unstable

• All required materials, components and packaging items are not guaranteed to be available in the right place at the right time

• Unplanned machine & equipment set ups and changeovers occur

• Unplanned labour reallocation and overtime occurs

• Engineering changes cause production confusion and delays

• Plan and schedule performance measurement results are not seen as realistic and are not driving continuous improvement
