Do you think Designing for Manufacturing was a contemporary set of methods? If so, think again. Our manufacturing forefathers, like Alexander Hamilton Church, understood and promoted the importance of designing products and processes for the most effective manufacturing and business over 100 years ago. Why has it taken us so long to have this part of our business today – most organizations still struggle with this.

The history of flow production is long and precedes Toyota and its great work in this area. Ford’s Highland Park Plant is a source and also the writings of Alexander Hamilton Church in 1910! Some review of AH Church sounds more like contemporary descriptions, not something from over 100 years ago.

Some history on flow production from the writing of Alexander Hamilton Church – over 100 years ago. The implementation of flow production was realized and articulated early in the 20th century. History worth studying – and pre-Toyota’s flow production.
