20Continuity of useful action
Carry on work continuously; make all prts of an object work at full load, all the time.• Flywheel (or hydraulic system) stores energy when a vehicle stops, so the motor can keep running at optimum power.
• Run the bottleneck operations in a factory continuously, to reach the optimum pace. (From theory of constraints, or takt time operations)
Eliminate all idle or intermittent actions or work.
• Print during the return of a printer carriage--dot matrix printer, daisy wheel printers, inkjet printers.
This principle is proposed to solve the following contradictions:1/25 2/25 9/22 10/35 15/25 16/25 16/39 21/25 21/36 25/1 25/2 25/15 25/16 25/21 26/7 35/10 36/21 39/16 39/21
