The effectiveness and impacts of one piece flow manufacturing technique into manufacturing industries

One-piece flow means that parts are moved through operations from step to step with no work-inprocess (WIP) in between either one piece at a time or a small batch at a time. This system works best in combination with a cellular layout in which all necessary equipment is located within a cell in the...
