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.

The purpose of this paper is to increase the productivity of a ceramic tile manufacturing process using lean manufacturing technique. The current system of the ceramic tile manufacturing process has been mapped using Value Stream Mapping (VSM) tool, which is a lean manufacturing tool and the wastages in the current system are identified. Afterwards, future state has been created by using VSM tool, which has enhanced process ration by decreasing maximum possible waste in the manufacturing process. The case study demonstrates how the VSM tool has been used to identify and reduce waste in the manufacturing process by 26%, unnecessary inventory by 8.33% and working time of the color-mixing department by 21.57%. This flexibility enhancement causes 2.67% shorter lead time, 2.70% higher value-added ratio and frequent product delivery leading to more profits.

Lately, value stream mapping (VSM) is integrated with tools and techniques that belong to other areas of knowledge such as risk management (RM). It is well known tool in showing the value, value stream and the flow which represents three of lean manufacturing (LM) principles. This integration, gives more benefit in covering two of VSM issues such as considering the variability and uncertainty of production processes. In this paper, a model named variable value stream mapping (V-VSM) that integrates the two was showed, explained and tested. The model helps to generate the VSM in a dynamic way with the identification of current and potential risks. These risks might happen in the future bringing a strong impact on not reaching the main objectives in the defined time and cost. The model has been tested by conducting a case study in food sector. A current state map was built using both models, traditional VSM and VVSM. The results showed the effect of variability and uncertainty on the total cycle time (CT) and lead time (LT) values, where the traditional VSM failed to show it by being a static tool. Comparing the results of both models show the differences in presenting the real state of manufacturing environment..
