A Framework for Lean Flow in Turbulent High-Variety Low-Volume Manufacturing Environments
Value stream mapping (VSM) is a widely applied method for manufacturing systems design in repetitive and stable industries. A literature review of challenges and modified solutions for lean flow in high-variety low-volume (HV/LV) value streams is carried out. The solutions are categorized according...

Takt-time control in high-variety/low-volume production
This paper presents the results of an exploratory study of the application of takt-time control in a make-to-order (MTO) job shop producing high-variety/low-volume (HVLV) products. From lean production theory, we established necessary conditions for the applicability of takt-time control in MTO...
A New Value Stream Mapping Approach for Engineer-to-Order Production Systems
Companies seeking to implement lean practices in engineer-to-order environments experience major difficulties due to a high degree of non-standard products and non-repetitive processes. Current lean methods need to be further developed to be more efficiently applied in manufacturing environments...
