This study aims to reduce the waste that occurs on each workstation and has an impact on increasing productivity and reducing production costs caused by waste that occurs during production. The data used for this study is quantitative data obtained by direct observation to the relevant departments regarding the problem of identifying waste that occurs — data taken from observations as much as 30 times the collection of data and historical data used from January 2016 to June 2017. By using the value stream mapping method on lean manufacturing, it can be seen that there are five types of waste from the existing seven waste. The five wastes are unnecessary motion, waiting, reject, transportation and in-process processes. From the results of the value stream mapping carried out a reduction in waste on each workstation with a total reduction of waste that occurs at 66.97 tons / year or 18.6% on waste gel and 88.8 tons / year or 19.3% at waste powder and there was a reduction in the changeover process for 45 minutes or 12.16% of the total changeover time before the improvement. Also, there was also an increase in the production process speed of 2 minutes 47 seconds or 4.52% from the lead time of the previous production process, 61 minutes 34 seconds to 58 minutes 47 seconds.

PT. Trijaya Teknik Karawang is a manufacturing company that produces spare parts, namely the piece pivot. The increased demand make the company parties need to analyze the ability to do the production to make it more effective and efficient in order to win the competition. Preliminary observations on the production floor they still present problems that are categorized as waste. Based on it, lean manufacturing Approach used to solve these problems. First of all the waste identified by mapping the flow of production using Value Stream Mapping (VSM). Then determined the dominant waste going through weighting waste using Waste Assesment Model (WAM) with the result that the inventory is the dominant waste. Next choose a detail mapping tools with Value Stream Analyze Tools (VALSAT) and determine the cause of waste inventory with fishbone diagrams that result, the causes of waste inventory is the breakdown of the machine, the operator of conduct material handling and less nimble, the distance between the machine and the system far, the production batch manufacture. Recommendations for improvements are the application of the system production of one-piece flow with investing buying transfer dies and adds to the human resources division maintenance. The identification of the problem causing factors of the dominant waste activity, namely waste inventory using Fishbone diagrams is lack of engine maintenance because it does not have a maintenance division and the production system used is batch manufacture that produces goods in lot size so that there are WIP parts in each production process.

Value Stream Map

Lean manufacturing is an optimum approach for the reduction and elimination of waste within an organization. The case study company is based in South Africa and produces heat exchangers through main processes or fractals, which include pre-assembly, core building, brazing and final assembly. A walk through the plant showed that there was a large amount of inventory awaiting final assembly and that the brazing furnace often waited for material from core building. This was an indication that there could be an imbalance between the three fractals in terms of cycle time. Thus, the aim of this study was to improve the manufacturing processes for heat exchangers at the automotive manufacturing company through the deployment of value stream mapping, subsequent line balancing and developing a roadmap for reduction of waste. The case study research strategy was adopted for the study since it provided an in-depth view of phenomena. The first objective was to outline the production flow for the manufacture of automotive heat exchanger parts. The method used was a walk through the plant and observations were made to gain an understanding of the production steps from logistics production planning to shipping of the finished goods, and subsequently to a mapping-out of the production process flow was undertaken. The results showed that there was a large amount of inventory awaiting final assembly and that the brazing furnace often waited for material from core building. It was concluded that there was need to conduct a detailed process analysis to identify sources of waste. The second objective was to conduct value stream mapping for assessing the value- and non-value-adding activities in the manufacture of automotive heat exchangers components. A value stream map was developed through walking to Gemba and mapping out the production process, collecting data and pinpointing waste activities or areas to be improved. The kaizen flashes from the value stream map also revealed that operators were not fully utilizing the capacity of the bottleneck workstations. It was concluded that two instead of one planning points, and inefficiency at assembly were root causes of the high work-in-process level. The third objective was to conduct a line balancing analysis for the three production fractals. The method used was a Pareto analysis for evaluating the products, analysing the product mix and line balancing analysis of the production line. The results revealed that the furnace was run on two shifts while the subsequent assembly and preceding core building were running on three shifts causing a work-in-process build-up, thereby resulting in line imbalance. It was concluded that it was imperative to change the scheduling approach, and adopt one that prioritised and spread the cores that had relatively short cycle times, and also reduce downtime, change-over time as well as additional time for scrap and defects, and a future-state balance chart revealed that the fractals imbalance had been reduced. The fourth objective was to develop a roadmap for reduction of waste in the manufacture of car heat exchangers components. The method used was to develop proposals and assess the feasibility and cost implications of implementing each option. Recommendations were made for continuous process improvement and a roadmap for reduction of waste was proposed. In order to improve the output of assembly, training for the operators was recommended since it would also enable the removal of the second planning point at assembly. Further research could also be conducted to develop an optimal scheduling algorithm for allocation of products to work centres to ensure high utilization of work centres and reduce work-in-process inventory.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process optimization of a precast concrete component production line by using value stream mapping. Design/methodology/approach This paper is an empirical focused on of lean production theory and value stream mapping. The data in the case study were collected in real time on-site for each process during the production process of a prefabricated exterior wall. Findings The results of the current value stream map indicate that the main problems of the current production process are related to equipment, technology and organization. The equipment problems include simple demolding and cleaning tools and the lack of professional transfer channels. The technology problems include the lack of a marking mechanism and pipeline exit mechanism. There is a lack of standard operating procedures and incomplete process convergence. A comparison and analysis of the current value stream and the future value flow indicate that optimizations of the process flow, the production line layout, and the standard operating procedures have shortened the delivery cycle, reduced the number of workers, improved the operator’s operating level and balanced the production line. Practical implications The results of this study provide practitioners with a clear understanding of the optimization of the precast concrete component production and represent a method and basis for the process optimization of a factory production line; the approach is suitable for process optimization in other areas. Originality/value This research represents an innovative application of lean production theory and value stream mapping in a complex production line of precast concrete components and thereby fills the gap between the theory and practice of the optimization of a precast concrete component production line.

Purpose Non-value adding activities or waste have been a major challenge for the construction industry. Researchers worldwide have investigated how such activities can be reduced or overcome in the industry. However, much has not been done regarding waste in the production process of building blocks. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the various waste in sandcrete blocks production process (SBPP). The study also aims to find out the causes of the waste and their impacts on the factory performance. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the aims of this study, a qualitative study was conducted in five sandcrete blocks firms in Minna. Physical observation and interviews were the main instruments used for data collection. The data obtained were analyzed through content analysis. Samples of blocks (low standard only) were also taken to the laboratory for compressive and porosity tests. Thereafter, questionnaires were administered to other sandcrete blocks producers in six firms. The essence of this was to investigate the applicability of the identified waste in other factories in the study context and for further data analysis. Findings Typical forms of waste in SBPP are excessive stocking of sand and cement, long distance covered from the store to the mixing or production location, excessive quantity or over design of materials and over vibration or compaction of the newly produced blocks. It is anticipated that adoption of lean concepts, tools and techniques in the production of sandcrete blocks will help to eradicate the identified waste in the process and stimulate a future state value stream mapping (VSM). The practicality of the expected future state VSM is presently being investigated by one of the five firms in the study context. Research limitations/implications The findings of the study mainly provide further insights on the various process waste in Nigerian sandcrete blocks production. Practical implications The study provides knowledge on how lean thinking can be adopted to identify and reduce waste in SBPP. Such knowledge may be beneficial to the present and prospective sandcrete blocks producers. The study also provides insight on how the overall cost of production of sandcrete blocks and the quantity of CO2 that is being released into the atmosphere in the production process can be reduced. The VSM in the proposed framework also serves as a tool that can be globally adopted for waste identification by producers of other forms of blocks such as bricks. Originality/value This paper satisfies all the tenets of originality as it has not been previously published and all the information obtained from other studies have been duly referenced. The study is also original as it is first in the study context to propose for a lean framework that can be used to reduce waste in SBPP.
