Busy Is Not the Same as Productive

Every machine is running, every operator is occupied, and the shop floor looks full of activity. Yet customers are still waiting. High utilisation at the wrong steps simply builds stock, ties up cash and hides the real limit on your plant. What matters is how much saleable product leaves your gate each week. Laurence Gartside helps manufacturers shift attention from keeping everything busy to protecting the one step that governs output. Start with the free Throughput Readiness Assessment and see whether your measures, schedules and priorities are helping or quietly holding back the capacity your business needs to grow.
