Batch Production vs. Continuous Flow Manufacturing

See the difference between operating a batch (push system) vs. a continuous (pull system).

Picture speaks louder than words!

I'm not understanding it. In the Batch why would the other team members not continuously keep producing while the main person is working on that task instead of waiting around? If they all kept working wouldn't the outcome larger over let's see a 8 hour period?

Cycle Time and Lead Time

[@lovesageheroes530]

I'm confused. Are you to elaborate? It looks like one piece flow vs batch.

[@Thorna111]

This shows that it requires only 1 employee to do the work in 30 mins lead time or 4 employees in 8 min lead time. If customer need is 8 mins you can't do batch approach. Continious flow is based on continious demand with low lead time. If only one batch is needed you might as well stick with one employee, yet start a bit earlier 😂

there is something off in this video. Hold it at 0:10. The yellow stream employee has made 2 products, the green stream 3 plus one on in progress...

Continuous flow is the way to go here, but there is obvious bias. Namely, the batch line is purposefully made to look much slower. Green: grabs a new part while handing off current part simultaneously. Yellow: no simultaneous movement. Part is put into basket first, then grabs a new part. Not simultaneous. This is an inaccurate representation. A case of subtle bias imposed on the viewer.

Lead time from station 3 to station 4 is also incorrect. It would be 15 minutes, not 20. First part took 16 minutes if correctly stated.
