2 Second Lean: One Piece Flow

On Friday, we went to a manufacturing method called one piece flow.  With our shop being so small, processing batch kits was a bear but we did it because we thought it saved time.  Boy were we wrong!  For a 4’x4′ kit, we were right around 6-7 hours per kit.  Not terribly bad, but not good by any means.  We are down to 4 HOURS per kit now just by processing one box at a time!  Here’s a video detailing the change.
