➤ When can reducing a non-bottleneck processing time still help increase throughput?
Reducing a non-bottleneck can help if it eliminates blocking, reduces variability, or prevents starvation of the bottleneck. For example, lowering upstream variability or setup times can keep the bottleneck busy and slightly increase throughput. Improvements also matter when the non-bottleneck becomes the new constraint after other changes.
