This video explains the basic concepts of one piece flow. Presented by EMS Consulting Group, Inc.: • #opexminute #leanmanufacturingmanagement #kaizen #leanmanufacturing #flow #onepieceflow • https://www.emsstrategies.com • Continuous flow is a concept that involves working to the pace or heartbeat of the customer- known as takt time. For example, to achieve continuous flow in a process that requires one unit every minute, a continuous flow process must be able to work at that pace- completing one unit every minute. In manufacturing, continuous flow is typically achieved when processes are highly capable, highly reliable, and scale-able to take time. We might think of an automobile assembly line or a U-shaped cell that runs continuous flow. In administrative work, it is difficult to achieve true continuous flow when there are multiple operations involved; however, by cross-training folks and having one person perform multiple sequential operations without delay in between, some degree of continuous flow can be achieved as well. What if you can’t implement continuous flow? Many times this is the case, and we will have a future OPEX minute covering the types of pull systems you can put in place where continuous flow might not be feasible.
