That is not how it works. How it actually works is something like this:

Outline team makes outline for episode 1 and passes it on to the storyboard artists while they begin making outline for episode 2.

Storyboard artists board episode 1, which takes a few months because they have to draw hundreds of pictures, and pass it along to voice acting while they start boarding episode 2. While the boarders board episode 2, outliners start outlining episode 3.

Voice actors record episode 1 and pass it along to the Korean animators. They begin voicing episode 2 while the board artists are working on episode 3 and the outline team is working on episode 4.

The Korean animators make the crisp clean animation that'll be on TV for episode 1, which takes several months becasue they have to draw thousands of pictures per minute of footage, and then they pass it on to Aivi and Surrasshu so they can start working on episode 2. While they're animating episode 2, the voice actors are recording episode 3, the board artists are boarding episode 4, and the outliners are outlining episode 5.

Finally, Aivi and Surrasshu get the nearly-finished episode 1 and spend about one week composing the soundtrack and adding all the sound effects. This is literally the only part of production that takes only a week. When they finish episode 1, they wait for episode 2 to be ready so they can work on that too. While they compose music for episode 2, the animators are working on episode 3, the voice actors are recording episode 4, the boarders are boarding episode 5, and the outliners are outlining episode 6.

Technically this isn't exactly how it goes--they make it go faster by having multiple teams of boarders and animators so that they can get more episodes done in that time--but this should give you a good idea of how it actually works.
