T-plant​

T-plant - A production environment characterized by initial straight line flow followed by divergent final assembly points. The logical network of material flow resembles the letter T in the sense that all materials go through similar processing until the final steps diverge to create a relatively large number of different end products assembled from common components.

Perspective: In a T-plant the main problem is the stealing of common part/subassemblies across

products.

Examples: Car assembly, and faucet manufacturing.
