🗒️[Glossary] One piece flow

One-piece flow is a production methodology where items move through each step of a process individually, one at a time, rather than in batches.

In the context of variant management, where multiple product configurations or variants can be built to meet the varicustomer needs, one-piece flow becomes particularly valuable:

• Enhanced Customization: One-piece flow allows for seamless transitions between different product variants, enabling manufacturers to meet specific customer requirements without significant delays.

• Lower stock levels: Minimizing inventory and work-in-progress reduces the financial burden often associated with managing a wide range of product variants. Depending on the product and its range of variants, it may even be impossible to pre-produce all possible variants and keep them in stock.
