Flow efficiency measures the percentage of total lead time is spent actually adding value (or
knowledge) versus waiting
Flow efficiency % = Work Time x 100%
Lead Time Flow efficiencies of 1-5% are commonly reported. *, **
> 40% is good! Multitasking means time spent in working columns is often
waiting time

Looking downstream, you want the system to help you anticipate and

Looking upstream, you want the system to help you anticipate and

Combine the two, and across the organization you smooth flow end-to-end and help keep demand in balance with overall system capability
