Evaluation Of Value Stream Mapping In Small Scale Industry

Abstract

This   research work   presents a model of implementation of lean manufacturing for improving productivity and quality, by analyzing data of manufacturing industry. The purpose of this paper is to identify waste related problem, cause of equipment failure, bottleneck problem. The aim is to rectify these problems. The problems are analyzed and effort is also made to reduce rejection, inventory control, waiting time, set time and eliminating non added value time / activities. The complete problem is identified and depicted by value stream mapping. This paper firstly describes the current state of the component, with the help the use of value stream mapping. The waiting time will be eliminated by Kanban (pull system). These lean tools can be applied in manufacturing industries for reduction of wastage and increasing productivity
