Nowadays, Lean manufacturing application is reported for manufacturers in global level.Those reports have exposed that this application has enabled the companies to become competitivethrough the elimination of wastes while producing products and offering services. Various tools like5S, Poka Yoke, Kaizen, Kanban, JIT, etc have been used while implementing lean manufacturingmodel in various types of organization. Recently, both researchers and practitioners have found thatValue Stream Mapping (VSM) technique serves as a powerful vehicle in enabling organizations toimplement lean manufacturing model. Meanwhile, it is found that lean manufacturing model is yet tobe applied in the case of certain manufacturing products. One among those products is gear shaft. Inthis background the theoretical proposition of implementing lean manufacturing model in the case ofmanufacturing a gear shaft has been investigated in this article.

Value stream mapping (VSM) was initially developed to use of the suite of tools to help researcher or practitioner to identify waste in individual value streams and find an appropriate method to its removal. The process itself is simple and straightforward is used to identify waste using lean manufacturing technique, determined causes of the waste through the value stream mapping method and to propose solution to improve workplace environment. In this project is made an attempt to computerize the process though the application of VSM. Computerize value stream system is basically a method which is an internet networking system combining traditional concept of value stream mapping method to be used at manufacturing company to reduce wastes. This paper summarizes the way to develop an internet, online and network based of an efficient computerize value stream system to improve operation value of the manufacturing company. This paper reviews the design of package that will replace the manual method of doing VSM. This package will be applied in a real shop floor environment.

Productivity is an important parameter for all small and medium scale manufacturing industries. Lean manufacturing emerged as production strategy capable of increasing productivity by identifying and eliminating non value added activities. This article deals with productivity improvement in a pre-assembly line of gearbox manufacturing company with a case study using lean concepts like process flow chart, process Gantt chart and time study. This paper illustrates using a case study on how a value stream mapping has to be carried out in a planet carrier pre-assembly line. Value stream mapping and work standardization are the key tools used in lean manufacturing and lean transformation. It makes the process smoother, helps in reduction of lead time and ultimately increasing the productivity. From the observed results it was found that, the productivity has been increased from 7 pieces to 10 pieces in the first step assembly when the proposed VSM was implemented. The second step processing time was reduced by the execution of proposed value stream mapping with TAKT time of 126 minutes and 165 minutes of processing time for demand of 10 pieces were achieved and the overall processing time has been reduced by about 24%.

Abstract The paper deals with the use of Lean Manufacturing tools in improving the production process of car arm rests in a car manufacturing company in Poland. The article describes the original condition of a single production process of assembling ready pieces to produce car arm rests. The original condition was assessed and described with the use of some basic Lean indicators and value stream mapping. The aforementioned tools allowed to assess the process condition and to identify the organizational issues and their sources. It also enabled to reorganize the process and increase its efficiency. The further part of the article describes the results of improvement actions. The process assessment was held and improvements introduced in the first quarter of 2018.

Value Stream Map

In lean manufacturing environment Value Stream Mapping (VSM) & SMED are one of the renewed industrial engineering technique used worldwide. VSM is used for visualizing the system of manufacturing and many other relevant processes and helps in great extend to understand to system itself effectively. Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) helps to reduce the setup time of process. A valve manufacturing company was being selected for Case study. First we draw the current state value stream map. From the current data analysis find out the problems and give some recommendations to improve the production lead time and provide a future state value stream map, we reduced the lead time through VSM, from 46.63 days to 43.03 day. Second we applied SMED techniques & reduced the setup time from 21 min to 16 min in bonnet machining operation of valve.

As a result of the recession in Saudi Arabia, the manufacturing companies start thinking to reduce the operational cost and increasing the productivity through lean manufacturing principles. This paper is focused on increasing the productivity of a paint manufacturing company through implementing some of the lean manufacturing techniques. First, Value stream mapping analysis carried on throughout the manufacturing process and the areas of improvements in the company has been identified using fishbone diagram. Second, Work Place Organization (5S), Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), Work Standardization and Kanban are the lean manufacturing techniques selected to solve different problems facing the company in these areas of improvements. A systematic approach of each technique implemented to measure its effect on the company productivity. It is observed that, applying (5S) and (SMED) techniques in the filling process decreased the changeover time by 59% and increased the daily productivity. Pareto chart recommended using work standardization in the charging process led to reduce the defects batches by 57%. Kanban system eliminated the shortages of semi-finish product and increased the output of the pre-weighing batches by 57%. In addition, overtime hours reduced by 77% and waste handling reduced by 85% and 53% for the non-hazardous and hazardous waste respectively

<p class="TRANSAffiliation"><span>Lean manufacturing is a popular method of acquiring efficiency in manufacturing environment. Value stream mapping (VSM) is one of the methods that can be used by practitioner to support lean. VSM method is also a common method to identify waste and determined causes of the waste through the value stream mapping approach and propose solutions to improve workplace environment. This project is an attempt to computerize the normally manual VSM process. Computerize value stream system (CVSS) is basically a method which is an internet networking system combined with traditional concept of value stream mapping method used at manufacturing company to reduce wastes. This paper summarizes the way to apply an internet, online and network based of an efficient computerize value stream system to improve operation value of the manufacturing company. This paper reviews the design of the package that will replace the manual method of doing VSM. The system is tested in a real shop floor environment and found to be successful.</span></p>
