Explain how a line-flow strategy can be used to reduce or eliminate setups

What will be an ideal response?

If line-flow volumes are high enough, a product layout can be used that eliminates setup requirements entirely. Another tactic, the one-worker-multiple-machines (OWMM) approach, can also be used to reduce or eliminate setups by having one person operate several machines simultaneously to achieve line-flow without requiring the machine to be changed over. In low volume processes, line-flow can be achieved through group technology (GT). This technique groups parts or products with similar characteristics into families and sets aside groups of machines for their production. The goal is to group products with similar processing requirements and minimize changeover or setup.
