Abstract

This report is about the application of simulation in lean manufacturing systems which mean the value stream mapping of safety pin production line in Prym Consumer Sdn Bhd is translated to the simulation model. The factor of this study is the limitation of the traditional value stream mapping (VSM) which does not have the capability to response to rapid changes and can’t illustrate the waste impact of the changes in the production line of work processes change continuously. So, VSM translated into a simulation to demonstrate the changes behaviour based on the input of the model. From the collected data, and an adaptation of the whole production flow, the current state of VSM snapshot is developed. The analysis later is done to simulate the simulation model where the current simulation model is analysed using Witness simulation software to identify the wastes in the safety pins production line. Finally, several alternatives of recommended simulation model deployment are conducted on the validated simulation model. The experiment of improvement was built-up based on two types of wastes which are waiting time and unnecessary inventory. The result of this study includes the simulation scenarios of waste elimination and proposed final improvement simulation model where the lead time is reduced by 14.29%, from 17 days to 15 days only with no implication cost involved. The study is indeed very useful to the company because the simulation model of Value Stream Mapping is very greatful tool, where it can demonstrate the changes in the behaviour of the system adhering of the inputs to the model.
