Bottleneck Analysis & Insights

Improved JPH By 20%

Battery Assembly Line

Problem Statement

Line was unable to achieve its designed throughput.

Case Drilldown:

Linecraft-identified top bottleneck's cycle histogram revealed that almost 30% of the cycles are exceeding the designed takt time. Linecraft also showed the reasons causing these cycle to exceed.

30% of the cycles exceeded target resulting in ~5% time loss

Cycles higher than target

Cycles before improvement

Cycles after improvement

Result

By eliminating the top bottleneck flagged by Linecraft, the customer was able to see a sharp increase in the JPH (jobs per hour).

By focusing on the top 20% faults captured by Linecraft, the customer was able to significantly improve and sustain the availability of the entire line.
