Continuous Flow
Continuous flow is a production method where materials move through a process without interruption. This approach minimizes waiting times and reduces inventory levels, allowing for a smoother and more efficient workflow. It is commonly used in manufacturing and service industries to enhance productivity and streamline operations.
In a continuous flow system, each step in the process is closely linked, ensuring that output from one stage becomes the input for the next. This method is often associated with concepts like Lean Manufacturing and Just-In-Time production, which aim to eliminate waste and improve overall efficiency.
