KEY QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE-STATE DESIGN

1. What Ie the talet time?

2. Will you build to a finished-goods supermarket,
or directly to shipping?

3. Where can you use continuous flow processing?
4. Where will you need to use supermarket pull
systems to control production of upstream

processes?

5. At what single point in the production chai

(the “pacamaker procass”) will you schedule
production?

8. How will you level the production mix at the
pacemaker process?

7. What increment of work will you consistently
relaase and take away at the pacemaker process?

8. What process improvements will be necessary
for the value stream to flow as your future-state
design specifies?
