Onepiece flow, sometimes called continuous flow or singlepiece flow, is a production method used instead of traditional mass production In mass production, materials move through the manufacturing process in batches which can be highly inefficientWith one piece flow, equipment can be designed smaller and at lower cost since the need to produce huge batches of material at breakneck speed is no longer required Capacity may be increased at low cost simply by adding labour to the cell 5 Reduces inventory With one piece flow, work in process (WIP) is reduced practically to nil4/12/18 · You can make a one piece flow line to bottle the perfume or make the pills but the raw material will probably always be made in a batch of some size Making the batch size smaller and smaller by focusing on set up reduction then becomes the key approach and you will realize lots of gains by taking this approach, lower inventory, faster customer service, better quality, lower cost
