FLOW PRODUCTION
Describes how goods, services, or information is processed. It is,
at its best, one piece at a time. The flow may
consist of parts, documents, invoices, customer orders, etc. It
rejects the concept of batch, lot, or mass processing. Flow production
vertically integrates all operations and functions as operationally
or sequentially performed. It encompasses pull or demand production.
If all waste is removed, it might be the value stream.
