The complete kit concept suggests that work should not start until all the items required for completion of the job are available. Starting a job with an incomplete kit means more labour time to finish the job, longer lead time, more work in process, reduction of throughput, poor quality and impairment of due date performance. Working with a complete kit would have led to the fastest productivity gain, as it would in most types of manufacturing, engineering, research and development, service and paperwork environments.
