A Literature Review on Cycle Time Reduction in Material Handling System by Value Stream Mapping
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Cycle time should be considered as a viable option when an organization is trying to improve efficiency, cost base and customer responsive. Value stream mapping is a paper and pencil tool that helps you to see and understand the flow of material and information as a product or service makes its way through the value stream. This paper proposes how this valuable tool can be implemented effectively in means of loading and unloading of the materials. Forming a current state map for eliminating the non-value added activities, also to derive a future state map for reducing the cycle time and improve the process efficiency.
