Implementation of a Lean Model for Carrying out Value Stream Mapping in a Manufacturing Industry

Value Stream Mapping technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are involved with a process or transformation. In this respect, Value stream mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the ma...

Integrating Work Environment Considerations Into Lean and Value Stream Mapping

Lean manufacturing: costing the value stream

The term “lean manufacturing”, (Womack et al., 1990), refers to the generalization of the Toyota Production system (TPS), also called Just-in-Time (JIT). One feature of such system is the reduction of costs through elimination of waste (Sugimori et al., 1977). Waste or muda (in Japanese) is anything that does not add value to a product. Elimination of muda is done by means of continuous improve...

Simulation of Production Process Reorganized with Value Stream Mapping

At the turn of the third millennium the world industry has found itself in probably the largest restructuring since the first industrial revolution. The progress is determined by two trends: dynamic progress of information and communication technologies which have enabled the creation of new markets and the redefinition of entire professions, globalization of economy thanks to new purchasing an...

Operationalization of Lean Thinking through Value Stream Mapping with Simulation and FLOW

L ean thinking has been successfully employed beyond manufacturing in product design and development. This has led to an increasing interest to utilize it in software engineering (SE). The thesis advances this goal by identifying the key practice of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) that can facilitate organizations to adopt Lean for software development. Two major shortcomings of VSM when applying it...
