In today’s challenging environment, factory management and engineering teams face constant pressure to improve performance as market demands fluctuate and costs rise. However, there is often a lack of clarity regarding what to assess and address in order to effectively analyze gaps in alignment with core objectives. Most assessments focus on mapping the value stream of materials, which accounts for only 20% of the process, primarily related to throughput time. This approach frequently overlooks the optimization of manufacturing resources, which make up the remaining 80% of key productivity drivers, ultimately limiting the impact and effectiveness of improvement efforts.
