Current Efficiency Analysis

Current Efficiency 67%

Efficiency Gaps Identified

33% potential productivity currently unused
Approximately 1,601 labor hours lost weekly
Current output: 2,340 units/week vs. potential 3,492 units/week

Maximum Potential Analysis

Based on 125 employees working 38.5 hours/week, your operation has a total labor capacity of 4,812.5 hours weekly. At 100% efficiency, this would yield an estimated 3,492 production units per week, compared to your current output of 2,340 units.

Bottleneck Impact Assessment

Manual Assembly Process

Impact: 15% efficiency loss

Accounting for approximately 722 lost labor hours per week and an estimated 432 fewer units produced.

Outdated Quality Control Procedures

Impact: 11% efficiency loss

Resulting in 529 lost labor hours weekly and an average of 8% product rejection rate.

Inefficient Inventory Management

Impact: 7% efficiency loss

Causing approximately 350 lost labor hours per week due to material shortages and searching for inventory.

Prioritized Improvement Recommendations

1. Semi-Automated Assembly System Implementation

High Impact Medium Cost

Expected Savings: $108,300 annually

Semi-automate critical assembly steps with modular equipment to reduce manual labor requirements while maintaining flexibility. This would reduce assembly time by approximately 40% and improve consistency.

2. Digital Quality Control System

Medium Impact Low Cost

Expected Savings: $79,350 annually

Implement digital quality control procedures with tablet-based checklists and automated measurement tools to reduce inspection time by 60% and improve detection accuracy.

3. Barcode Inventory System

Medium Impact Low Cost

Expected Savings: $52,500 annually

Implement a barcode inventory management system to track materials and reduce time spent searching for inventory by 75%. This would also reduce stockouts and improve material flow.
