Taco Bell One-Piece Flow

My local Taco Bell uses one-piece flow, but is it working for customers?



“I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].

“You know, in Lean we talk about the idea of “One Piece Flow”: You have one thing and it gets all the way through the process. I noticed this in action at my local Taco Bell, and I think it may not be the best way to go about it.

“When you come in, if you place an order at the drive-through window, if there’s somebody in front of you they fill that order before they take your order.

The Space Between Your Fingers

In any process, what’s more important? Steps in the process or the delays between steps?



“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified,” “Agile Process Innovation” and QI Macros [software].

“Most of you have probably seen this: They would have you hold up your hand, right? This is like a process, and you can see the steps in the process {pointing at fingers}.

“But most of the delay is in the space in between {pointing between fingers}. It’s not… it’s not in here {pointing at fingers}, right? You can’t really speed up a thumb, but you can reduce the gaps between the fingers so that everything happens more quickly.
