Is high-density workholding incompatible with single-piece flow? In this episode of Lean Built, Andrew and Jay talk about the intersection of lean manufacturing theory and real-world machining. From palletized workflows to red-tagging clutter, they cover the trade-offs between quality, speed, density, and cost. They also explore the nuanced relationship between SMED, economic lot size, and high-density fixtures—plus why your shop's application of lean principles might be a lot different from my shop.
