Ventana Production Models

Ventana® Production Models focus on the technical and human factors affecting a manufacturing or service delivery process. They are used by managers to find the root cause of throughput and productivity limits, understand and accelerate production learning curves, and determine in advance the likely payoff of process improvement initiatives.

Examples
> Aircraft manufacturing
> Chemical testing

Chemical testing
For a business unit of a large chemicals manufacturer, Ventana combined a technical model of the product and the quality testing process with a model of the financial implications. By identifying a previously unrecognized opportunity inherent in the chemical properties of the product, Ventana took 35% out of the cost of routine tests, significantly reducing the unit's controllable expenses.
