Japanese for “load load”, Chaku Chaku is an efficient style of production in which all the machines needed to make a part are situated in the correct sequence very close together.
The operator simply loads a part and moves on to the next operation. Each machine performs a different stage of production, such as turning, drilling, cleaning, testing or sandblasting.
