Show Notes
In this episode, Jason Schroeder dives into Lean Core #3: One Piece Process and Progress Flow, and explains how the TACT Production System aligns perfectly with this principle. He discusses how TACT helps in selecting the right batch size for work (based on work density), the limits of applying one-piece flow, and how it calculates optimal batch sizes through tools like Dr. Marco Binniger's TACT formula. Jason explains how TACT minimizes variation, analyzes in-zone cycle times, and ensures that work progresses smoothly by aligning materials, labor, and resources with the work in progress. What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why the TACT Production System is the ideal method for selecting batch sizes based on work density.
- How One Piece Flow should be applied carefully, especially when there are limiting factors like shipment access.
- How TACT calculates and optimizes batch sizes through formulas like Little's Law and Kingman's Formula.
- Why working in zones with TACT supports aligned work in progress (WIP) and prevents overburden.
- How the Jidoka system can be used to stop the flow, solve problems, and ensure quality.
- How TACT helps identify and resolve bottlenecks using the Theory of Constraints.
Are you optimizing work flow by reducing batch sizes and focusing on one-piece flow, or are you creating inefficiencies by ignoring the limitations of your resources?
