Advantages of One-Piece Flow in Garments Manufacturing
Advantages of One-Piece Flow in Garments Manufacturing.... One of the most fundamental elements of creating a lean environment is operating with one-piece-flow. To think of processing one unit at a time can send a shudder through an organization if this isn’t the norm, especially if the plant is set up and accustomed to batch production. However, when incorporated properly into your workflow and paired with the right technology to support the process, one-piece-flow manufacturing can yield significant benefits quickly. Single piece flow is a lean manufacturing fundamental concept that is also known as One Piece Flow or “continuous flow” refers to the concept of moving one work-piece at a time between operations within a work cell. So it’s not needed to process an entire batch or lot at each operation before moving it to the next operation. This idea has many benefits. It keeps WIP at the lowest possible level and proper manpower utilization. Advantages/ Benefits
