Value Stream

In today’s competitive market place, manufacturing companies must apply continuous process improvement in order to maintain a returning customer base. One way of achieving constant process improvement is through value stream mapping. Value stream mapping is used to visualize the current processes for easier understanding and problem identification. A well-defined problem statement will ensure a successful outcome of a project improvement process. This research provides a case study performed on a rope manufacturing process. A current state value stream map is created, and the possible improvements are suggested. The implemented results are shown in the form of future state map. The results show that, after waste elimination and structural revision, a manufacturing process becomes more efficient, enabling the customer to receive an order significantly faster.

abstract: This article explores the application of lean thinking concepts in the analysis and obtaining of significant process improvements in building elevators installations. Based on a pilot installation, planned to analyze the installation processes of an elevator manufacturer, the authors compared two similar elevator installations. In one of them, they applied various lean thinking concepts and tools, with particular emphasis on template A3 and value stream mapping (VSM). This pilot installation planning was also developed based on the recommendations for efficient project management, structured by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The application of the template A3 and the value stream mapping to the installation of one of the elevators resulted in increased productivity, reduced installation times, and increased final quality of the product installed.

Production Wastes

Batik is one of Indonesian cultural heritage that confirmed by United Nations of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on October 2009. This legal confirmation improves the number of batik industry from many regions based its local unique characteristic. The increasing number of batik SMEs in Indonesia requires a strategy that can create competitive advantage. This strategy can be done by reducing production waste. One of Indonesian batik SMEs is SME Batik CM located in Yogyakarta. There are several problems that occur in the industry, i.e. length of the production process, spots on Batik and excessive raw materials inventory. Based on that problems, this research is done by applying lean manufacturing concept using value stream mapping (VSM) method to evaluate production wastes. Based on the result of the research, there are seven types of production waste: overproduction (9,62%), inventory (17,3%), defect (23,08%), motion (9,62%), transportation (9,62%), Over processing (9,62%) and waiting (21,15%). Process improvement is done to reduce the highest waste, defect, using quality filter mapping (QFM).
