“…A simulation model was run to investigate the basic performance measures, as well as assessing the system settings. Salwin et al (2021) explained the application of VSM in the manufacture of steel pipes. Their purpose was to present the VSM method as part of the analysis and process improvement.…”

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the Indian economy. To remain competitive in the global market, application of Lean Manufacturing Techniques (LMT) helps SMEs to improve their processes in alignment with customer needs. The purpose of this study is to reduce overall lead time by identification and eliminating non-value added activities (NVA) from the manufacturing system. In this paper, the current manufacturing processes have been thoroughly studied using the principle of work study. Several lean approaches such as- TAKT time computation, Value stream Mapping (VSM), layout optimization, Kanban, Andon etc. have been used to make improvement in line efficiency and hence productivity. The study shows that use of line balancing technique, matches the cycle time with calculated TAKT time. And the efficiency of the line has increased approx 10% and hence balance delay got reduced. Again VSM helps to reduce the lead time of foundry shops by 51 minutes. It is one of the few studies that deal with productivity improvement in Indian SME.

“…In his case study, Salwin et al (2021) found that the VSM is like a snapshot of the production status at the moment, which means that the day taken into account for the mapping may have run perfectly, but the next day may present different problems, so that the next VSM may vary significantly. It is perhaps true that the theory is far from the practice and application of Lean tools [15].…”

The Value Stream Mapping (VSM) tool is the graphical representation of the current and future state of the production system, used to identify waste in a specific process and is recommended for companies that want to start on the Lean Manufacturing path. This article presents a documentary analysis of its application to know the benefits and limitations that can be found at the moment of making decisions about it. As a result, it was found that the VSM is easy and simple to apply and consists of five main steps for its development; however, inadequate application, lack of knowledge of the processes, and their complexity requires the use of other tools to complement its results when making decisions.

“…We have witnessed a strong emphasis on environmental protection, Industry 4.0 and digital solutions (Abou-foul et al, 2020;Tronyoll et al, 2020;Gaiardelli et al, 2021). Both manufacturing and service companies focus their efforts to satisfy an ever-higher number of needs of individual and institutional clients (Salwin et al, 2021a;Salwin et al, 2021b;Lipak and Salwin, 2019). This gives rise to the need to generate and develop various types of inno-vations (Kukurba et al, 2021;Salwin et al, 2021a;Boons et al, 2013).…”

Purpose:The paper presents a review of the literature concerning start-up accelerators and a classification of related research untill August 2021. Approach/Methodology/Design: While elaborating the classification, the authors coded works according to the type of accelerator and implemented acceleration program. Furthermore, the paper identifies the countries, research bodies and authors who focus on research on the functioning of accelerators. The authors present how various accelerator forms operate and how they perform. Findings: The paper systematizes knowledge related to start-up accelerators available in the Scopus base and suggests directions for future research. Practical Implications: Recently a clear phenomenon is shown that is the development of a start-up ecosystem, in particular creation and professionalization of the new form of organisation that is a start-up accelerator. This entity acts as a bridge between start-ups and corporations and big enterprises, promoting success of both sides -conclusion of business contracts. More start-ups and corporations decide to collaborate with accelerators that, with their acceleration programs involving big companies, support them both. By monitoring the corporate-start-up collaboration, accelerators actively promote both parties, also in terms of generating necessary innovations to support, for instance, production, sales or service processes in big companies. An evergrowing number of accelerators and accelerator programs worldwide translates into more interest in research in this field. Originality/Value: Despite the increasing research trend related to start-up accelerators, no precise research classification has been available to date.
