2. What is Flow Control?
Flow control, also called optimized production
technology, focuses on the efficient flow of material
through the production process. The philosophy of
flow control focuses on bottlenecks. For example, an
owner using flow control will not buy a machine
capable of 1,000 units an hour if supply is only 500
units. Examine systems and determine where lowest
flow is experienced, then address that point and make
sure it operates at full capacity. Flow control applies
well where maximum productivity is required.

3. What is Materials Requirement Planning?
A given quantity of finished goods requires a given
quantity of raw materials and components to make
them. Materials requirement planning systems are
computerized tools that manage when materials must
be ordered to supply production at a later date. MRP is
effective when output quantities are known. Small
business owners are often their own MRP systems,
storing the information needed to supply production in
their knowledge and experience. Activities such as
computer tracking inventory and forecasting demand
are MRP activities.

4. What is Just-In-Time?
Just-in-time, or lean manufacturing, is a production
management philosophy built around the continuous
reduction of waste. It is suited for businesses where
production efficiency is key. Anything that interferes
with productivity is waste and, therefore, the enemy
under JIT systems. Techniques that support JIT
philosophy include reducing inbound inventory by
creating supplier delivery schedules, minimizing
outbound stock with customer delivery schedules and
constant work in-house reducing scrap material and
wasted man-hours. These techniques improve cash
flow and maximize sales margins.
