Featured Topic: Continuous Flow

Continuous Flow is a concept which goes by many other names including one piece flow, single piece flow, or even simply "flow."  It is very closely associated with lean thinking and for very good reasons.  It is a bedrock principle of lean.  When we create flow, we eliminate wastes that cause delay in the process.  We increase productivity and reduce lead-time.  This results in better customer service, increased cash flow, reduced inventory for those in manufacturing, and revenue and profit growth.   This month we have several articles and videos dealing with this important topic.
