Abstract

The transformation of production process from batch to flow can be seen as an effective way to optimize material flows in job shop manufacturing environments. This transformation can be successfully adopted only under certain specific conditions, since product layout, typical for one-piece flow production, is not always a better option than the process layout. Accordingly, decision-making rules and principles for this concern are presented in the chapter. Subsequently, a case study on these issues is offered in which methodical procedures for transformation of manufacturing of small to medium-sized lots with aim to reach one-piece flow production are described in detail.
