Continuous Flow Distribution (CFD)

 

Continuous Flow Distribution (CFD) is a method of distributing goods or services in a continuous and uninterrupted manner, as opposed to traditional batch processing. This method is often used in supply chain management and logistics to ensure a steady and consistent flow of products to customers. It is the streamline pull of products in response to customer requirements while minimising the cost of distribution.
The key principle of CFD is the pull system, which means that products are only produced or shipped in response to customer demand. This ensures that inventory levels are kept to a minimum, reducing the risk of overstocking or obsolescence. By aligning production and distribution with actual customer requirements, CFD helps to optimize the use of resources and minimize waste.
