A significant difference between technology and manufacturing value invisible. Unlike physical processes, in the technology value stream we cannot easily see where flow is being impeded or when work is piling up in front of constrained work centers. 2. By putting to creating smooth and fast flow is performing work in small batch sizes. 2. Large batch sizes result in skyrocketing levels of WIP and high levels of variability in flow that cascade through the entire
