Material Flow

The Operational Bottleneck

Chaotic material handling, double-handling of parts, misplaced inventory, and delayed line feeding disrupt production schedules and inflate logistics costs.

Our Floor Implementation Approach

We follow a rigorous, hands-on methodology to execute changes on your lines. Here is exactly what we do:

1. 1
   Step 1: Analyze material movement paths, lot sizes, and handling equipment utilization.
2. 2
   Step 2: Design Mizusumashi (water-spider) timed material supply routes to workstations.
3. 3
   Step 3: Establish supermarket storage zones with min-max inventory controls.
4. 4
   Step 4: Implement Kanban signaling and FIFO (First-In, First-Out) material flow.
5. 5
   Step 5: Standardize container sizes, kit packaging, and visual material status.
