Continuous Flow

Continuous Flow is a production system principle within lean manufacturing that characterizes the uninterrupted movement of materials and information through a process, where work is performed in a smooth, sequenced, and synchronized manner to minimize waste, reduce lead time, and enable immediate detection of defects, distinguishing it from batch-and-queue systems by ensuring that value-added activities occur one at a time, exactly when needed, in alignment with customer demand.
