Heijunka – Line Balancing Training
Heijunka, a Japanese word meaning leveling or smoothing, is a production leveling and smoothing technique used in the Toyota Production System. Grupas Gelişim's Heijunka – Line Balancing program is designed for businesses that aim to keep the production process flowing in a stable and balanced way despite variable customer demand. The program addresses the three core Heijunka strategies — leveling the production volume, managing flexibility and variation, and minimizing inventory levels — from a hands-on perspective.
On lines where different products and variations are manufactured, when production quantities and sequencing are planned correctly, fluctuations decrease, the line is balanced, and customer demands can be met faster.
