cross-docking and one-piece flow are inventory management techniques that aim to improve efficiency and reduce waste. However, they operate on different levels of the supply chain and have distinct goals. One-piece flow, on the other hand, is a production strategy that emphasizes continuous movement of materials through the manufacturing process. In cross-docking, goods are received from suppliers and almost immediately sorted and redirected to their next destinations without long-term storage, allowing for a continuous flow of items through the warehouse. Therefore, only cross-docking truly represents items flowing through a warehouse in an almost continuous manner.
One-piece flow, also called continuous flow, refers to the way products move from one step in the process to the next—moving them efficiently by planning workflow based on the product and its needs, instead of the organization or equipment
As my understanding is one piece flow is use for raw materials. FG will not move out as one piece
