生产线巡检：节拍校准与瓶颈协调沟通实务
-
During our biweekly line walk, the Polish production manager paused at Station 7 to recalibrate takt time against actual cycle variance.
-
She noted that operator fatigue during third shift consistently extended assembly by 1.8 seconds—just enough to breach the 95% throughput threshold.
