scholarly journals Variability and Uncertainty Analysis in Value Stream Mapping

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..

  Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk menganalisis pemborosan produksi produk Jala Ikan KKP menggunakan lean manufacturing di PT. Indoneptune Net Manufacturing dengan memetakan aliran produksi dan menganalisisnya menggunakan value stream mapping (VSM). Analisis terhadap pemborosan dengan metode VSM dilakukan karena VSM dapat memetakan aliran informasi dan material dari awal sampai akhir dari value stream pembuatan suatu produk. Sehingga dapat dilihat proses mana saja yang merupakan pemborosan. Adapun VSM yang dibuat adalah current-state VSM karena dapat merepresentasikan kondisi saat ini dari aliran produksi yang ada. Hasil yang didapatkan setelah dibuat current-state VSM adalah aliran produksi produk jala Ikan KKP melewati proses spinning, ring roupe, netting dan finishing yang memiliki sub-sub proses yang berbeda. Dari setiap sub-proses tersebut dipetakan nama proses, jumlah waktu cycle time dan changeover time, level inventory, waktu kerja tersedia dan jumlah operator. Penganalisisan pemborosan dilakukan pada setiap sub-proses untuk dapat mengetahui nilai tambah proses tersebut terhadap produk utama yang sedang dikerjakan pada setiap tahapan proses yang berlangsung. Kesimpulan yang didapat yaitu pemborosan yang terjadi di departemen spinning salah satunya adalah delay time karena persiapan sebelum proses peleburan, waktu tunggu karena persiapan proses twist di departemen ring roupe, transportasi berlebih sebelum proses tatekan dan pengerjaan ulang di hoshu 2 di departemen finishing.

PT. IE is engaged in the business of making Lighting and Lampposts. Based on observations and interviews, there are still some wastes that arise in the flow of the production process, among which there are still many wastes of waiting time, transportation, movement and inventory. These wastes cause the product completion time to be longer and the resulting quality decreases. To eliminate or reduce waste, it is necessary to apply Lean Manufacturing. Lean Manufacturing is a systematic approach to eliminating waste and changing processes by identifying and reducing waste with continuous improvement and striving to create a production flow along the value stream by eliminating all forms of waste and increasing the added value of products to customers. From the Pareto diagram, it is found that transportation waste has the highest percentage of 26.21%, waiting time is 21.38%, motion waste is 19.31% and waste inventories are 15.17%. while the results of the Value Stream Mapping Current State Map mapping obtained a production lead time of 7,680 seconds and a total cycle time of 6,660 seconds and a PCE Current State Map value of 53.09%. Identify the root causes of waste using Fishbone diagrams, 5 Why Analysis, 5W+1H, Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA. After corrective actions have been taken, based on the Value Stream Mapping Future mapping there is a decrease in production lead time to 5,220 seconds and a decrease in total cycle time to 4,860 seconds and an increase in PCE Future State Map to 68.10% so that there is an increase of 15.01% which shows The company's production process has become more Lean.PT. IE bergerak dalam bisnis pembuatan Lighting dan Tiang Lampu. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara, masih terdapat beberapa pemborosan (waste) yang timbul di aliran proses produksi di antaranya masih banyak terjadi pemborosan-pemborosan waktu tunggu, transportasi, gerakan dan inventori. Pemborosan-pemborosan tersebut menyebabkan waktu penyelesaian produk menjadi lebih lama dan kualitas yang dihasilkan menurun. Untuk menghilangkan atau mengurangi pemborosan diperlukan adanya penerapan Lean Manufacturing.Lean Manufacturing merupakan pendekatan sistematik untuk mengeliminasi pemborosan dan mengubah proses dengan cara mengidentifikasi dan mengurangi pemborosan dengan perbaikan kontinu dan berupaya untuk menciptakan aliran produksi sepanjang value stream dengan menghilangkan segala bentuk pemborosan serta meningkatkan nilai tambah produk kepada pelanggan. Dari diagram Pareto ditemukan waste transportasi memiliki persentase paling tinggi sebesar 26,21%, waktu tunggu  21,38%, waste motion 19,31% dan waste inventories 15,17%. sedangkan hasil pemetaan Value Stream Mapping Current State Map diperoleh production lead time selama 7.680 detik dan total cycle time selama 6.660 detik serta nilai PCE Current State Map sebesar 53,09%. Identifikasi akar permasalahan pemborosan menggunakan diagram Fishbone, 5 Why Analysis, 5W+1H, Fault Tree Analysis dan FMEA. Setelah dilakukan tindakan–tindakan perbaikan, berdasarkan pemetaan Value Stream Mapping Future ada penurunan production lead time menjadi 5.220 detik dan penurunan total cycle time menjadi 4.860 detik serta ada peningkatan PCE Future State Map menjadi 68,10% sehingga ada peningkatan 15,01% yang menunjukan proses produksi perusahaan telah menjadi lebih Lean.
