Abstract

Nowadays, in manufacturing industries field, the competition are more intense. To increase the throughput and have a good quality of product without producing any waste is quite challenging. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of lean manufacturing tools that used to visualize all the process flow and information from raw material to finished good. This project is regarding the problem that occurs in the production line are lots of waste that affects to company’s target for Product X. It is a good illustration of Current-State Value Stream Mapping (CSVSM) to identify and quantify the seven types of waste in the production line. The purpose of this project is to propose Future-State Value Stream Mapping (FSVSM) at Company X to eliminate the waste along the Product X production line and recommend the improvement ideas. In order to develop the VSM, Microsoft Visio 2013 is a best tool that can be used. Ishikawa Diagram has been used to identify the root cause of the waste problems. Next, three improvement ideas are proposed. As the ideas, lean manufacturing tools and technique such as 5S and Kaizen have been proposed in order to reduce the waste occur along the process. This project able to reduce both cycle time and lead time by 17.46% and 12.12% respectively.
