Simulation guided value stream mapping and lean improvement: A case study of a tubular machining facility

Abstract: Abstract:Purpose: This paper describes a typical Value stream mapping (VSM) application enhanced by the discrete event simulation (DES) to a dedicated tubular manufacturing process.Design/Methodology/A pproach: VSM is prescribed as part of lean production portfolio of tools, not only highlights process inefficiencies, transactional and communication mismatches, but also guides improvement areas. Meanwhile, DES is used to reduce uncertainty and create consensus by visualizing dynamic process views. It is served… Show more

“…The same result showed that a significant reduction of no value added time and increasing value added was up to 66% in garments industry by VSM [11]. The other way, VSM was a necessary but not to sufficient approach to analyze production systems issues [16]. Furthermore, implement continue improvement after maintenance condition was described in goal of future state map.…”

“…As a result, a change in the trajectory of the value stream by introducing a working cell and rational allocation of equipment is impractical. However, there are opportunities to reduce the item manufacture time by reviewing existing technologies [7]. The bottleneck, marked in the map of the current state as "casting nozzle and trunnion" could be eliminated by hiring qualified staff, and the total time stamping arm may be reduced by search intradepartmental reserves and reduce downtime.…”

“…Tools like VFA increased the understanding of the studied process and encouraged the personnel to suggest and implement improvements (Xia & Sun, 2013). Analyses carried out for specific product flows resulted in faster throughput and better utilization of the directly involved production resources.…”
