| Summary: | The article constitutes a procedure for the analysis and identification of floating capacity bottlenecks in metallurgical production. The procedure conceived is based on the use of detailed capacity calculations, the output of which is the determination of the hourly output of the floating capacity bottleneck depending on the production schedule. Applying the said procedure is illustrated by the example of output analysis of a line for the cutting of hot rolled bars. Analysis and identification of the floating capacity bottlenecks subsequently becomes the starting point for applying the principles and tools of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) in material flow control in metallurgical plants. |
