German term or phrase: Abzweigung
This is a list of features of material flow within a motor factory.

I was wondering which of the dictionary definitions available would suit best.

• Minimale Transportwege
•  Keine Überschneidung/Kreuzung von Materialströmen
•  Nur eine Flussrichtung (Kein Gegenverkehr)
•  Kein Stau (Zwischenlager)
•  Wenig Abzweigungen


Thanks
