Value Stream Mapping: Literature Review And Implementation For An Assembly Line
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
ean manufacturing initiative is being followed by various organizations in the recent years which mainly focus on improving the efficiency of operations by eliminating and reducing wastes. A major activity in the journey towards lean is the effective management of the flow of products and services through the series of the activities involved in providing value to the customer, known as the value stream mapping. Value steam mapping (VSM) is a lean manufacturing technique and it has emerged as the preferred way to support and implement the lean approach Grewal (Int J ManufTechnolManag 15:3–4, 2008); Singh and Sharma (J Measuring Business Excellence 13:58–68, 2009). VSM is different than conventional recording techniques, as it captures the information at individual stations about station cycle time, up time or utilization of resources, setup time or change over time, work in process inventory, man power requirement and the information flow from raw material to finish goods. It covers both value adding as well as non-value-adding activities. This paper covers the review and classification of literature on VSM, as there is hardly any paper on literature review of VSM, so it will be very beneficiary for both academician and industry people. Applications of VSM are also presented by a practical implementation on an assembly process and reduction in cycle time, processing time, and work in process inventory and manpower requirement at individual stations in an assembly process of automobile industry located in Gurgaon (India).
