In lean manufacturing<\/a> Heijunka means \u201cproduction leveling\u201d. In business of any nature, fluctuations can occur due to changing customer\u2019s demands and needs. Therefore, in order to smooth out the production process, implementation of heijunka production leveling is really important. Heijunka promotes just in time manufacturing<\/a>. It improves the efficiency of production process by leveling out the variations in performance. These fluctuations can be a result of changing customer demands or due to fluctuating external factors.<\/p>\n

Basically production leveling refers to production of same quantity every day. This is really important in terms of lean manufacturing where the purpose is to minimize waste production. For implementation, it is important to set levels for volume by analyzing the past order history of that specific customer. It will help in understanding the fluctuation level that can be expected from the customers.<\/p>\n
