Bottlenecks & Optimisation Across Industries

​

Manufacturing (General)

• Bottlenecks often occur at the slowest machine, inspection point, or material handling stage.
• Even a 10% delay at a bottleneck can cause 30–40% overall production loss.
• Streamlined workflows, automation, and lean practices help reduce downtime and increase throughput.

​

Food Industry

• Bottlenecks appear in quality checks, packaging lines, and cold storage handling.
• Unoptimised processes risk wastage, compliance failures, and supply shortages.
• Continuous improvement and digital monitoring help balance speed with safety.

​

Pharmaceutical Industry

• Strict regulations mean bottlenecks often occur in validation, testing, and documentation.
• Delays in one batch can hold back entire supply chains.
• Optimisation improves compliance, reduces time-to-market, and ensures patient safety.

​

Automotive Industry

• Bottlenecks are common in assembly lines, supply chain coordination, and robotics calibration.
• With just-in-time manufacturing, even small inefficiencies ripple across global operations.
• Optimised production reduces recalls, improves quality, and cuts costs.

​

Aerospace Industry

• Complex assemblies mean bottlenecks often occur in precision machining, inspection, and certification.
• Downtime in aerospace has high financial and reputational impact.
• Process optimisation enhances reliability, safety, and delivery timelines.

​

Why Optimisation Matters

• Bottlenecks create hidden costs and lost opportunities.
• Removing inefficiencies can boost output by 20–50% without extra investment.
• A culture of continuous improvement safeguards long-term growth and resilience.
