Abstract

Manufacturing throughput time reduction can be a daunting task due to the many factors that influence it and their complex interactions. However, there are basic principles that, if applied correctly, can be used to reduce manufacturing throughput time. This paper presents a conceptual framework that illustrates these principles. The framework illustrates the factors that influence manufacturing throughput time, the actions that can be taken to alter each factor, and their interactions. The framework is detailed enough to provide guidance to the industry practitioner on how to reduce manufacturing throughput time, while being general enough to apply to most manufacturing situations.
