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...

value stream mapping because of being able to understand process bottlenecks, as one of the most common tools for analyzing, identifying and eliminating various losses in operational and support processes are used. on the other hand, inventory management, precise control entry and exit of goods, accurate and timely information about the inventories status and planning, reduce product maintenanc...

In response to global recession and increased competition, organizations have tried to become more efficient by decreasing costs and streamlining operations. To achieve this, the philosophy of lean management has gained in popularity. The main obstacle organizations face when implementing lean is deciding which activities to implement lean principals on. A well known lean practice, value stream...

Value stream mapping is a lean management method for analyzing and optimizing a series of events for production or services. Even today the first step in value stream analysis the acquisition of the current state is still created using pen & paper by physically visiting the production place. We capture a digital representation of how manufacturing processes look like in reality. The manufacturi...

The Lean Philosophy emphasizes one basic point – ‘Doing more with less’. This article outlines a simple-to-understand three step road-map that can help an organization embark on its journey towards lean transformation. The first is a cultural revamp of getting the lean spirit through to everyone. Step two is to develop the organization’s current state value stream map, scan for improvement oppo...

this article discusses the use of value stream mapping(vsm) in a make-to-order production environment. according to this tool, apractical study carried out about the way of implementation of leanmanufacturing in a commercial printing company in an action research basis. theaim of using vsm as a drawing tool of current value stream is to investigatethe ways of process improvement and reducing wa...

the aim of this study was to assess the potential impact of trout farm effluents on water quality of zaringol stream based on nsfwqi and wqi indexes. some physicochemical water quality parameters were measured from 14 point during december 2009 to september 2010 seasonality. the average value of nsfwqi is 53.21 and it shows spatial and temporal variation. the maximum value or best water quality...
