Flow and Design

Exploiting your system potential is enabled by efficient flow to and through the constraint. Visualizing the various types of flow brings greater success to your business goal.

Designing your facilities and infrastructure to support your system often requires little to no investment with excellent returns on throughput.

Return to Systemic Improvement
PRODUCT FLOW
Physical system design should take into account effective product flow that focuses on constraint efficiency.  This example is a "clean slate" design of a personnel and product processing facility capable of error-free delivery of 63 items of various sizes related to safety, protection, and survival. Over 400 personnel and associated equipment totaling over 64 short tons can be processes in just 140 minutes.
INFORMATION FLOW
Intuitive and rapid access to operational status and key decision-making information involves more than data.

Data must be processed and presented in a format appropriate to the level of leadership being informed.  This should be done seamlessly and integrated with other information providers to present a holistic view that mitigates the risk of delays or poor quality decisions that might impact success.
