Using value stream map and process mapping for vizualization recovery boiler OS-5 production

Journal Title: Zarządzanie Przedsiębiorstwem - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper shows a brief history of the Big Picture analysis and practical example of creating value stream map based on company manufacturing industrial boilers for special order. Production of boilers is in the presented case the additional task and it is manufactured in between the normal mass production of other products produced by the company. BPA delivers information about customer’s requirements, information and physical flows and the impact of manufacturing on material planning. Thanks to creating aVSM, determination of the length of production cycle and non value added time were established. Determination of the non value added time allows for the selection of appropriate methods for their elimination. However, these methods must be feasible to implement by the company and not exceed the company financial capabilities. For the analysis of BPA to be more detailed, creating a process map for the selected business process „submit order” was proposed. Process map should be created for each process located on the VSM map, with the exception of manufacturing processes, in order to show links between business cells and production cells and how the flow of information looks like when business processes are performed. It gives companies the chance to check whether any actions are unnecessary and whether or not there is an excess of documents during process. Article draws attention to the affordable possibility for companies to monitor production using simple tools such as BPA and mapping processes, enabling organizations to visualize the production cycle and try to take action to improve it and eliminate the excessive documentation.
