Abstract

This report has focused on the application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in the manufacturing industry. VSM is a visual way of representing the flow of information and materials in the production of a product. VSM help management 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. Hence, the scope of this project is to create Current State Value Stream Mapping (CVSM) and analyze using the simulation model to implement the Future State Value Stream Mapping (FVSM) at Business Centre A (BCA). For conduct this project some methodologies are planned correlate to the objectives. The data required such as process cycle time, change over time and its downtime is collected and the result was gathered and analysis prior to the problem statement are done and was discussed. The analysis done is by determining the percentage of value added time towards non value added time and correlates it with the waste. Then analysis to determine root causes of waste are done by using cause and effect diagram, Pareto and why analysis. The finding is the opportunity to improve lead time is mostly from non value added activity and the improvement was suggested based on the waste identify. Besides, the process of mixing 2 also were improved by using line balancing. From the proposed result, the draft for FVSM is done and the simulation is created to support the finding. Based on the implement of FVSM and in simulation show the total lead time can be reduced up to 30 percent which is about 18.46 hours. Last but not least, the conclusion based on the studies was done and the recommendation was stated.
