About this Presentation
How do you find the capacity constrained resource (CCR) in a straight flow line if workers are crowded together in a confined space? There is nowhere for WIP to pile up! Simply, place a buffer before a station(s). Soon, WIP can be seen in front of the CCR station. Furthermore, the maximum practical use of the most precious CCR can be carried out by placing a buffer before and after a CCR to isolate interference by non-CCRs. By doing that even for the already fully tuned TPS flow line, 60% of improvement in capability was attained in only six days as a result. It is interesting when management looked at this result, they enforced this technique one after another without hesitation and the production capacity of the whole factory has been improved in a short period of time. The good point of this technique does not need advanced technology.
