Streamlined Production

What is Streamlined Production?

The systematic implementation of streamlined production principles enables the sustainable optimization of manufacturing processes. A structured approach ensures the effective elimination of waste and the continuous improvement of production efficiency.

Fundamental Principles of Streamlined Production

The methodical implementation is based on defined core principles:

• Value Orientation through systematic process analysis
• Pull Principle for demand-driven production
• Continuous Flow by optimizing material streams
• Standardization to stabilize processes
• Error Prevention using Poka-Yoke systems
