flux des chaînes

Do watch that parsing! It's obviously BOTH the arrangement AND the flow that qualify "of the lines"

I see it not so much as the throughput, as the fluidity of these production lines.

As in typically 'flux tendu'

I don't believe here this is anything physical (solids or fluids), but rather, the flow of work / movement etc., in which context 'flux' is indeed often used in management texts.

Of course, more context might make it easier to understand what kind of 'flow' they are talking about; I see it more than anything in the sense of 'parcours', 'acheminement', 'route', etc.

Thanks, B! I suspect a non-native source...
