Continuous Flow
Continuous Flow
After identifying the value stream for a product, the focus is on avoiding batch and queue between different steps in the process flow.
One must ensure that the next downstream operation has:
- only what is needed
- just when it is needed
- in the exact amount needed
Enabling flow without interruption, detours, back-flows, waiting and scrap presents a constant challenge.
General, the batch size should be reduced to the smallest possible size.
The end target is to enable single piece flow, meaning producing only one product at a time.
