Throughput & Capacity

Throughput & Capacity

Implementation Engineers drives strategies that optimize production processes, reduce lead times and rework, and improve quality performance in support of capacity and production increases. Often, we begin with our clients by conducting a capacity study, or Technical Limits Study, to identify the current state capacity, constraints, and improvement opportunities across the value stream. In a subsequent Implementation Execution phase, our teams execute these improvements to attack constraints and increase overall system capacity. Our team at Implementation Engineers works closely with client teams engaging the shop floor workforce to ensure improvements are co-developed, understood and embraced in order to make changes and improvements sticky and sustainable.
