"Throughput"is the measurement of the rate at which cash moves through the system. The higher the throughput, the higher your profitability. If you accept the premise that infinite throughput does not exist, then there must be something constraining your manufacturing environment from peak profitability. A bottleneck. Do you know what that bottleneck is? If not, do you know how to find it? And once you have found it, do you know how to eliminate it? This paper provides effective methods for identifying and eliminating bottlenecks to throughput. You will be able to use these methods immediately to increase production and profits. More importantly, you will be able to use these methods for the entire life of your business, as new bottlenecks will always appear to replace those eliminated.
