How To Create Flow?
Batching Can Increase Cycle Time
• Batching can sub-optimize the entire process, increasing delays in the process
• Goal: How can Batching be reduced?
• Serial Processing: A process that is designed to be linear or sequential
• Parallel Processing: A process with steps designed to happen at the same time. These steps are happening simultaneously
Parallel Processing
Standard Work
• Make common procedures and processes easy to perform
• Create effective visual aids, point of use checklists, templates, job instructions, etc.
