Find Where Production Is Really Losing Performance
Take 20 minutes on the shopfloor to separate visible symptoms from the condition actually limiting performance.
Do not complete this from your desk.
Walk the process. Watch the work. Talk to the people doing it. Record what you observe, not what you assume.

What this diagnostic is
This is a guide for observing a production process and asking better questions. It helps you make the current condition visible, identify where to investigate further and form a practical constraint hypothesis.
What it is not
A 20-minute walk cannot diagnose every production problem or produce a definitive solution. Use the diagnostic to sharpen the questions, identify the evidence still missing and decide what needs deeper investigation.
