建立超市拉动系统或FIF0(先进先出)缓冲库存，将大批量生产的工序从单元中分离出去。
You can separate a batch-oriented process from your continuous flow with a supermarket pull system or FlFO buffer.
当加热、冷却、表面处理等工序，是通过传送带形式加工生产时，可以保留在连续流的内部，只要操作员能够在节拍内完成装料和卸料就可以了。不过需要注意一点，要注意消除不必要的走动浪费。
Heating, cooling, curing, and similar processes can sometimes be kept within a continuous flow when they are moving-conveyor processes, as long as operators can drop off a single uncured piece and pick up a single cured piece once within each takt time. Walk distances should be minimized.
某些情况下，可以考虑忽略大批量设备的产能，把它当做单件流的生产方式安排生产。但需要核算一下，该设备平均生产一件产品的时间应小于节拍时间。
Sometimes, you can ignore the batch capability of equipment and use it in a single-piece mode, However, the equipment's effective cycle time for processing only one piece must still fit under the takt time.
某些情况下，只需对现有设备稍加改动，就可以从大批量生产转变为单件生产，而且改造成本也不高。例如，把手动喷枪排成一列，就可以代替大型传送带式的喷漆生产线了。
Sometimes, with a little creativity, a batch-oriented machine can be replaced by an inexpensive, single-piece processing method right away. For example manual spray guns placed in-line can sometimes do the work of a batch-oriented, conveyorized paint line.
