Flow
What is flow?
Flow is synonymous with continuous flow. We speak of “Flow” when goods, services or materials flow through the process during production, so to speak. Each step adds value without ‘standing still’ (waiting for the next operation). It is the 3rd principle within the Lean methodology.
There are several advantages of building Flow into your process. For example, you ensure that wastes such as (intermediate) inventories, waiting time and transport are reduced. Because each product or service remains in process until it is ready, the lead time is significantly reduced and you have to deal with minimal stocks. In addition, it ensures that you build quality into your process. Because you work by the piece or in small batches, you can fix mistakes faster and you don’t have to correct or discard huge quantities. This allows for more flexibility.
