one piece flow is better then?

If you constantly have a need to reconfigure machinery for different jobs then one piece flow ties up your machinery and batch and queue works better, if you always make the same product on a machine that is set up for one job only, then one piece flow works better.

It depends on what you mean when you say “reconfigure”. If you mean setting up a machine to run a different part, you’re actually incorrect when it comes to most practical factory applications. That’s where other lean tools like SMED assist in reducing setup times, making the changeovers less important.

I was not talking about set up times, just that you have dedicated a machine to a task that requires it to wait on other machines to feed it one part at a time when it could be doing something else.

How did you calculate the Average Work-In-Process????
