The importance of lean manufacturing concepts has been discussed many times over the few decades. most important elements in practices are value stream mapping (VSM), Kaizen events, load leveling (heijunka), etc. In this case study, a real-world clock assembly simulation used to study performance improvement terms production flow and lead time after introducing concepts. each round simulation, ...

The main challenge facing industrial companies is how to stay competitive in a fast changing world. They should adopt an effective supply chain that enables them deliver products short period of time. This forced organization change their pattern processing and become lean. Lean manufacturing system the best philosophy achieve objectives organizations reduce waste activities. unnecessary moveme...

International cargo transportation is majorly dependent on marine transport, which moves 80% of the international cargo. With increase in vessel size and same yard area available for container transportation, it important to study processes understand efficiency operations process. This research paper aims review import process cycle through lean six sigma concepts. The evaluated from perspecti...

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a commonly assessed method employed for the analysis of manufacturing processes. The principal asset of the method is its ability to identify wastes. Adopting lean manufacturing and lean management rules it is possible to eliminate such wastes. In the paper the case study of a manufacturing process of sleeves is presented. The current value stream map (CSM) and the...

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. At Toyota, where the technique originated, it is known as "material and information flow mapping". [29] It can be applied to nearly any value chain. Value stream mapping is often associated with manufacturing. It is also us...
