An interactive, animated simulation that puts one-piece flow and batch processing side by side in real time. Watch lead time collapse, WIP disappear, and throughput stabilise — then bring that insight to your shop floor.
Two systems with identical work content. What changes is the transfer batch size — and it changes everything.
The simulation builds intuitive understanding of flow — the kind that sticks in a team workshop far better than a slide deck ever could.
Enter the number of process steps, cycle times, and the batch size you want to test. You can model your actual production scenario or run a simplified illustrative version.
Hit play and watch one-piece flow and batch processing run simultaneously at full animation speed or in slow motion.
Review the final metrics: total lead time, first-unit time, and cumulative WIP for each approach. The difference is always larger than people expect.
Change the batch size and re-run. Show your team how even a partial reduction in batch size delivers significant lead time improvement — building the case for flow on your own numbers.
