Value Stream Management with shared equipment and resources
In reality it is often difficult, if not impossible, to implement the ideal Lean flow with specific equipement dedicated to each homogeneous production flow (value stream).

Often very different product flows have to share resources, either to make use of existing equipement or due to the high mix and volume variety of each Value Stream.

In these cases, basic Lean approaches allow to link production to demand, but do not really optimize performances of the whole production system.

Only a completely synchronized continuous flow system enables you to:

- dramatically reduce lead times
- Manage the different production paces of different product families
- reduce work in progress
- improve responsiveness to the customer

Productivity have develop a structured process to analyze and implement  synchronous flow in production environments characterized by shared resources.

Participate to our public workshop "High Variety Value Streams with Shared Equipment".
This workshop extends the principles and approaches of Value Stream Management to improve the performance of complex product flows.
