Downtime Intelligence
Throughput Bottleneck Map
Throughput Bottleneck Map ranks stations by their share of cycle-time loss for the active product mix, every shift. It then runs a what-if simulation: how many units per hour would the line gain if the bottleneck cycle dropped by one second, two, or five. The output is a readable note for the production meeting, not a black-box recommendation.
Features
Per-station cycle-time decomposition by product variant
Bottleneck rank with daily and shift-level views
What-if simulator with configurable improvement deltas
Mix-effect analysis to separate product-driven from station-driven loss
Notebook-style export for production meeting decks

Outcomes
- 1 Improvement projects target the actual rate-limiter instead of the loudest station
- 2 Sequential improvements become tractable: fix one, see the next move
- 3 Production meetings spend less time on "where is the bottleneck" debate
FAQ
Reviews
“The mix-effect view stopped a project that would have spent three weeks on the wrong station. That alone justified it.”
“Clear and honest about what the simulator is and is not. Refreshing.”
