Where do I even start with improving my line?
The simplest way to find it: walk the whole process and look for where the work is backing up. Wherever you see material piling up, or people waiting on the step ahead of them, that's your bottleneck — the operation that's stalling everything downstream. Fix that one operation first, and the whole line opens up. That's where you start.
