Successive Operation Synchronization (SOS) enables consecutive operations to start simultaneously rather than following traditional sequential logic, aiming to minimize total lead time and shorten delivery dates within the production process.

• Simultaneous Start: Successive operations that normally wait for each other to finish can be started simultaneously (synchronously) on different machines thanks to this feature.
• Zero Wait Time: As soon as the first parts begin processing on the first machine, subsequent machines are activated; thus, queues and waiting times between operations are eliminated.
• Parallel Line Flow: All steps in the work order are moved into a parallel flow based on resource availability, allowing the production line to operate as a single block and optimizing total lead time to the maximum level.
