An insight into Throughput Efficiency or Asset Intensity
Reliable manufacturing lines do not have unexpected stoppages. They should stop only to perform planned, efficient activities. Any unexpected stoppage or loss contributes to waste in the manufacturing process. For Continuous Excellence in Manufacturing, Throughput efficiency or Asset Intensity contributes to "Going for Zero" waste. It is about maximising the consistency and efficiency of your manufacturing lines by addressing their losses. Manufacturing line-related losses are divided into:
- Non-Operational Losses (e.g.: Idle Time)
- 4 Operational losses associated with Throughout efficiency.
- Planned Stoppages
- Unplanned Stoppages
- Speed Loss
- Rework
