Abstract

Productivity has being the highest focus or concentration in nowadays business entity especially in manufacturing sector. The improvement in productivity means the profits are growth and unneeded activities are denied or eliminated. Among the problems that occur in the selected aerospace company production line are the difficulty to visualize the overall process flow, not able to identify the waste and also issued with ownership causing late delivery or defects. The reasons for the lateness and defect are also difficult to identify. This study focuses on the development of General Value Stream Mapping that will enable the detail process flow to be clearly understood. Next, by analyzing the VSM, the bottleneck process can be identified and Statistical Process Control using Pareto charts are can be used to identify improvement opportunities. The result of this study includes the current and future state VSM, Value added activity, bottleneck identification and kaizen proposals. This vital information can help the company to improve their productivity and be successful in the lean journey.
