What is Run to Target Manufacturing?

Run to Target (RTT) manufacturing is a concept found in manufacturing that is typically used alongside productive maintenance, in which it focuses on eliminating product and process variability while continuing to increase machine efficiency.

This methodology is aimed to optimize manufacturing effectiveness by identifying key process variables. These key process variables can include changeover, machine speed, downtime, etc. Once the variables are identified, the goal with RTT manufacturing – also known as centerlining – is to control and manipulate these specific variables.

An efficient way to review key process variables is by spreading them out on a control chart and selecting the centerline – the midway between upper and lower ranges.
