Abstract

The manufacturing sector industry needs to constantly increase in terms of productivity and performance because the competitor industries nowadays compete with each other especially competitors in the same sectors. If the lead time in the production line takes a long time, the product will not be finished in time, and the company will not be able to grow with other companies because customers and retailers will look for better companies that produce products faster. This research is more focused on Food and Beverage industries since the company produces a variety of drinks. The objectives of this study are to identify the factors for the long lead time that occurs in the production line. So, Value Stream Mapping can be one of the methods that can be applied to reduce the lead time in the production line and the production control becomes smoother and faster. The technique to reduce the lead time is using the Current and Future State Value Stream Mapping. Furthermore, the second objective of VSM is to apply and measure the VSM technique in production activities. When VSM is applied, the problem that occurs in inventory can be assessed thoroughly such as the takt time does not meet the customer demand because manufacturing processes take a long time to finish. Additionally, a few tools are being used to complete the study. Firstly, the literature review related to VSM was collected to ensure the information in it can be used. Then, the research approach can be done with qualitative and quantitative research to collect the data. The data can be collected with take pictures and interviewing the employees to know the process flow of the production line. Then, the data would be analyzed by using the Why Why analysis to improve. This analysis is being conducted to determine the root cause solution. When the data is analyzed to find the solution to the problem that occurs in the food industry, the results will be accomplished. Lastly, the study can be applied to the Food and Beverage Industry. Other than that, the thesis related to VSM will be useful for minimizing and eliminating waste in production to make some optimization and improvement.
