How do you find the bottleneck of a process?
By experimenting where an increase in throughput actually increases your overall throughput will let you know where your bottleneck is: If you change the throughput of each of your machines one at a time, the machine that affects the overall output the most is the bottleneck.
Which tool is best used to identify the bottleneck in the process?
A fishbone diagram is a great visual tool for understanding which bottlenecks occur within different arms of the process.
Why is it important to identify the bottleneck in the process design and analysis?
A bottleneck analysis is an important process in manufacturing that can help remove or mitigate production holdups, drive efficiency, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Managers can use the analysis to gain insights and implement process improvements designed to eliminate the issues.
