View source for M17-S7 - Supply Chain and Bottleneck Management

In this session we had a nice business game called [[The Production Dice Game|The Production Dice Game]]@games which explained the basics of bottlenecks in a production line.

Bottleneck insights:
* All processes are either a bottleneck (constraint where flow < demand), or a non-bottleneck.
* Bottleneck flow should be equal to market demand. Use bottlenecks at 100%. No idle time.
* Bottleneck throughput equals plant throughput. '''An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour lost to the whole system'''. An hour saved at a non-bottleneck is irrelevant.
* Cost of bottleneck is the cost of the entire plant divided by number of bottleneck hours available.
