Linear Manufacturing
You're not really lean if you're not linear!
Companies
will never achieve their full growth and profit potential if they produce more than 25% of their
monthly shipment
plan in the last week
of the month or more than
33% of
their quarterly shipment plan in
the last month of the quarter."

"Great manufacturing articles. Thanks for the insights. I often share portions of your articles with my staff and they too enjoy them and fine aspects where they can integrate points into their individual areas of responsibilities. Thanks again."

If your company is experiencing high non-value-added costs and customer complaints due to the end-of-the-month scramble, you'll find some interesting information on this website.
As companies struggle to remain competitive, one of the strategies by which gains in speed, quality and costs can be achieved is to pursue and achieve a linear order fulfillment flow.
Why is linear manufacturing so important? It’s simple; "It’s where the money's at!" Scrap, rework, overtime and poor quality are all non-value-added costs that increase as a function of the famous end-of-the-month syndrome. That is, as we delay our production schedule completions toward the end of the month (or worse, toward the end of the financial quarter), there is a tremendous pressure put on the business and production to make things happen regardless of costs..
"We
must constantly retool ourselves, become
perpetual students, or we risk becoming obsolete."
