B: Ensure that my Q.C. department workers needs are fullfilled
D: Leave the Q.C. department behind the bottleneck.
A: Increase throughput
Click on the icons on the arrows to see assumptions and injections
C: Ensure efficient use of the bottleneck
D': Move the Q.C. department in front of the bottleneck

In order to Increase throughput I must Ensure that my Q.C. department workers needs are fullfilled and in order to Ensure that my Q.C. department workers needs are fullfilled I must Leave the Q.C. department behind the bottleneck.. But, in order to Increase throughput I must also Ensure efficient use of the bottleneck and in order to Ensure efficient use of the bottleneck I must Move the Q.C. department in front of the bottleneck. I can't both Leave the Q.C. department behind the bottleneck. and Move the Q.C. department in front of the bottleneck.

RelationAssumption(s)Injection(s)
D-D'I must be able to give the change an opportunity to prove that it can make a difference.Allow the Q.C. department to move for a limited amount of time.
B-DThe Q.C. department doesn't want to move their station again.Put a measurement in place to calculate the lost time of rejected parts on the bottleneck.
C-D'We need to weed out the defective parts.
We need to save lost time on a bottleneck.
Put a measurement in place to compare the differences in time on parts produced.
