Abstract

This report has focused on the application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a manufacturing industry. VSM is a visual way of representing the flow of information and materials in the production of product. VSM helps managements to visualize information and material flow also can see the relationship between information and material flow. It helps to identify the Seven Wastes that occur in production processes. Through Microsoft Visio 2007 software, the documentation of VSM can be clearly show and management of the company can take benefits from its. Literature review show about the theories that get from journal and books be an important point to make reference and ensure this project success. Hence, the scope of this project was focus on one main product at manufacturing company. For conduct this project, some methodologies are planned due to the objectives and factory visit was a first step for observing the production system. Some necessary data such as cycle time, numbers of operators, setup time, and others is collected to create current state VSM. After that, the current state VSM analyzed and several wastes been identified such as transportation, defects, overproduction and others. From the analysis, a future state VSM has been develop. Some recommendation has been propose in order to ensure this project can give the benefits to industry and people.
