Average Production Time

In an ideal world, every manufacturing company will run all the time perfectly. Sadly, this is not an ideal world. Rushing orders or using inferior resources often leads to worse products. Putting more time and money into a product may mean higher quality but a slower production rate. A balance must be struck between the demand for output and the expectations for it.    

Many factors can affect a company’s production rate throughout the manufacturing process. Using cheaper resources or under trained staff will cost more in the long run. No one wants to buy an inferior product, even if it is cheaper to cut corners to make it. 

Alternatively, products sourced from unpredictable or untrustworthy companies can lead to a stall in production. What happens to the resources will affect the manufacturer if anything goes wrong on their end. Cheaper resources can lead to wastage or unusable offcuts, which will drastically affect the batch size.

Regardless of the cause, every company should keep the production rate under consideration. Flaws and errors will always occur, regardless of the quality of staff. How often and how bad errors may occur is unpredictable, but they should always be expected.
