The Ideal
Your Calculations:
-Whenever parts stop and wait in the process, nonvalue-added costs increase.
- Identify the constraints to material flow and focus
improvement efforts to remove them.
- Possible causes are over-production, defects,
excess waiting for changeovers, equipment
breakdown repair, and materials, excess inventory
including buffer stock, movement of inventory, etc.
