Today’s Customers are demanding products at less cost and at highest quality. Due this complex situation manufacturing organization has to juggle around with resources. They always seek optimum performance from each every resource in the organization. This also demands reduction in wastages at each and every stage of manufacturing. Lean manufacturing is one such philosophy which is mainly focused on identifying and eliminating wastages from each step in the production chain of the product. Lean concepts can help manufacturing organizations to have check on wastages. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the important lean tools which provide a broader picture of material and information flow starting with raw material and ending with the customer. This paper presents use of VSM in medium scale manufacturing organization. Implementation of VSM in the organization reduced the non value added time by 27.81% and Cycle time by 15.95%. The overall improvement in productivity is found to be 18.55%.

Abstract


Today’s Customers are demanding products at less cost and at highest quality. Due this complex situation manufacturing organization has to juggle around with resources. They always seek optimum performance from each every resource in the organization. This also demands reduction in wastages at each and every stage of manufacturing. Lean manufacturing is one such philosophy which is mainly focused on identifying and eliminating wastages from each step in the production chain of the product. Lean concepts can help manufacturing organizations to have check on wastages. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the important lean tools which provide a broader picture of material and information flow starting with raw material and ending with the customer. This paper presents use of VSM in medium scale manufacturing organization. Implementation of VSM in the organization reduced the non value added time by 27.81% and Cycle time by 15.95%. The overall improvement in productivity is found to be 18.55%.
