FSS(Futaba Sewing System）FSS
This system was born to eliminate the waste of overproduction and was introduced early in the sewing of automobile seat covers.
At FSS, we have adopted the “one-piece flow production” method, in which parts are processed one by one in the order of the process, and then sent one by one to the next process in order.
Lot sink (accumulated sink)
It is a method to finish one process and move to the next process.
