Batch & Queue

What is it?
A traditional production concept where we strive to keep machines fully utilized regardless of customer demand. Batches are maximized to reduce lost time on production changeovers.

How can I help?
That's not true. Batch & Queue leads to high inventory, low quality, and poor delivery performance.
