Application of value stream mapping in a forging industry – A case study

چکیده
Manufacturing organizations always needs some ways to reduce production lead time, eliminate waste and increase quality to survive in today’s competitive world. Lean manufacturing is such a technique used by industries all over the world in past few decades. It consists of various tools and techniques to reduce waste and increase productivity. One of the major tools in lean manufacturing is Value stream mapping (VSM). VSM shows all the activities from customer order to final product through different processing steps. In this paper VSM is used in a forging industry for a product named saddle. Data was collected from organization and a current state VSM was drawn. The production lead time in current state VSM was 14.9 days. Major waste was found out from current state VSM. Using lean tools and techniques a future state VSM was suggested and production lead time was reduced from 14.9 days to 9.5 days. E draw max version 7 software was used for drawing maps. Key words—lean manufacturing, Value stream mapping. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
