Bottleneck Detection Training
Find and fix what’s really slowing you down
In many production environments, bottlenecks go unnoticed, or worse, the wrong ones are optimized. In this hands-on training, you’ll learn proven methods to accurately identify the real bottleneck in your process, not just the one that looks busy or expensive.
Our bottleneck simulation is suitable for young engineers aged 3 and up.
Understand why many methods don't succeed
You’ll learn how to identify the true bottleneck in your production system—quickly, accurately, and with lasting impact. Forget relying solely on average data, which often leads to misleading conclusions. We’ll show you why this common method frequently fails and how to avoid falling into the same trap.
Average data returns average results.
Is that what you want?
Do the bottleneck walk and discover digital bottleneck detection
Instead, you’ll discover two powerful and practical approaches: The Bottleneck Walk, a fast, on-the-floor technique for identifying bottlenecks based on real-time observation, and the Active Period Method, a mathematically precise analysis method that pinpoints the bottleneck with scientific accuracy. You’ll gain direct experience with both tools through hands-on exercises, including a dynamic simulation designed to mimic real-world production conditions.
Learn to read the bottleneck indicators
Know what to do with your bottleneck
But identifying the bottleneck is only the first step. This training also covers Bottleneck Management, where you will learn strategies to eliminate or mitigate bottlenecks through targeted process improvements, helping you boost throughput and unlock the full potential of your production system.
There are many more options than just buying a faster machine!
