Pack-Out Quantity

Standard number of units packed and moved together, often used to define pitch in a leveled pull system.

Examples

01The pack-out quantity for brake pads is 24 per box, which with a takt of 30 seconds sets a pitch of 12 minutes.
02At the gemba, the team checks that boxes are always filled to the pack-out quantity and not topped up with extra pieces.
03Cutting the pack-out quantity from 48 to 24 halves the finished-goods buffer and makes pitch tracking more precise.
