Every manufacturer knows the frustration of a production bottleneck. One delay in the workflow and suddenly shipments are late, customer satisfaction dips, and costs spiral. In fact, according to a McKinsey study, inefficiencies in manufacturing processes can eat up 20 – 30% of total output potential.
