Helping the person(s) before or after another person in a manufacturing cell or system.
Example: Let's say my operation is a little faster than that of the person before me who supplies me with work. I can in some cases finish part of their process so that I will continue to have parts to work on.
If too much Bump-Back work is happening it may be that you should re-evaluate the tasks undertaken at each work station in the cell.
Creating a Lean Organization that is strong and capable will be one of your greatest achievements.
