Optimize resource utilization and increase overall throughput
Throughput analysis is a method used to evaluate the performance of systems such as production processes, supply chains, and service operations. Its primary goal is to measure output rates and identify bottlenecks or constraints that limit performance. For over 40 years, PMC has successfully applied throughput analysis to hospitals, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and other industries, helping organizations pinpoint areas for improvement, optimize processes, and enhance operational efficiency. Our proven track record demonstrates how data-driven insights lead to lasting results.
Throughput Analysis + Simulation: Visualize your operations.
While a throughput analysis simulation may not always be a necessity, it can significantly enhance decision-making by providing valuable insights and identifying opportunities for improvement.
What are the key elements of Throughput Analysis?
The key elements of throughput analysis typically include identifying bottlenecks or constraints, measuring output, and using this information to improve system performance. Common causes of bottlenecks can include issues with people (such as staffing shortages or inefficiencies), material sourcing delays, poorly organized bin locations, equipment limitations, or workflow disruptions. By addressing these factors, throughput analysis helps organizations improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase productivity.
What is Throughput Simulation?
Using simulation software, we create a model to study different scenarios, make predictions, and assess system behavior under various conditions. This approach is especially valuable when real-world testing is challenging, disruptive, or costly. Throughput simulation models system performance, predicts output rates, and identifies bottlenecks, enabling organizations to visualize the impact of changes before they are implemented. By providing actionable insights, simulation helps optimize processes, improve resource allocation, and support better decision-making.
