16. Capacity = 4 Capacity = 6 Capacity = 6 Throughput = 4 You can never go faster than your bottleneck No need for higher capacity after the bottleneck than at the bottleneck Higher capacity in front of the bottleneck will lower total throughput
29. You can never go faster than your bottleneck Balance demand against throughput to keep work-in-progress low Low work-in-progress Keeps cycle time down Makes bottlenecks visible faster
30.
31. Slow down to go faster Slowing down can stabilize the process flow A stable process can go faster
There are two different types of bottlenecks: - Capacity contraint resource - a resource limited by capacity, like a bottle - non instantly available resource - a resource that is not available all the time
