This research explores potential improvements in efficiency through improved cell layout and value stream mapping. Analysis of cell layout led to significant reductions in material handling and operator movement along with reduction in cell area thereby improving overall productivity. Value stream mapping of protector assembly, one of the company's products, identified hidden inefficiencies in ...

BACKGROUND Quality improvement within health and social care facilities is needed and has to be evidence-based and patient-centered. Value Stream Mapping, a method of Lean management, aims to increase the patients' value and quality of care by a visualization and quantification of the care process. The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of Value Stream Mapping on structure, pr...

Value Stream Mapping is known for identifying and eliminating or streamlining non-value-adding activities in manufacturing, production, business processes. To depict the current status of operation, a flow diagram depicting process drawn. Non-value actions are detected by their waste time resources each step between phase. With use simulation tools, examined possibility dramatically reducing si...

All efforts in advanced management systems should maximize value for the customer. One effective way to identify and realize this is map product's flow from end customer a supplier by visualizing streams of individual processes. This paper aims analyse propose introduction lean stream vacuum pump assembly achieve increased production output. Vacuum technology field engineering concerned with cr...

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...
