Although batching often appears more efficient than one-piece flow
for individual tasks, the practice creates waste for other parts of
the organization that more than offset its perceived benefits. A
silent productivity killer, batching is an extremely difficult
mindset to overcome and, as a result, numerous Lean initiatives
have been destroyed by it. This book argues the case for one-piece
flow over batching. It identifies the eight root causes of
batching, the wastes created from batching, how batching drives the
eight wastes, and the advantages of one-piece flow.One-Piece Flow
vs. Batching: A Guide to Understanding How Continuous Flow
Maximizes Productivity and Customer Value provides concrete
arguments as to why batching, while sometimes necessary, is never
the most efficient solution for most processes. It explains why
flow, especially one-piece flow or continuous flow, should always
be your ultimate objective when driving for increased productivity
in any process. Using case studies to illustrate how to channel
current mindsets toward one-piece flow as the preferred operation,
the book is designed to support anyone involved in continuous
improvement activities. It provides the tools and understanding you
will need to overcome resistance to implementing flow and, in
particular, one-piece flow processes-whether it be on the factory
floor or in a banking office.
