Analysis of production flow and identification of the bottleneck

Context

Medium company for injection molding with 5–15 machines. Analyzed the complete flow – from raw material entry to finished product.

Initial Condition

Unclear technical ownership of the process, informal approval of the first pieces, reactive problem solving.

Identified Bottleneck

The main problem was organizational-technological imbalance, not machine capacity.

Methodology

Four-day audit, parameter analysis, employee interviews, mapping the entire process.

Implemented Measures

Defined process ownership, introduced process documentation, and daily technical meetings.

Results

Increased process stability and reduced downtime.

Strategic Value

Transitioning from reliance on individuals to systematically driven production.

If your production relies on individuals instead of systems – let's analyze it.
