To survive in today’s competitive business world, companies require small lead times, low costs and high customer service levels. As such, companies pay more effort to reduce their manufacturing lead times. Value stream mapping (VSM) technique has been used on a broad scale in big companies such as Toyota and Boeing. This paper considers the implementation of value stream mapping technique in manufacturing helical springs by railway spring manufacturing company. It focuses on product family, current state map improvements and the future state map. The aim is to identify waste in the form of non value added activities & processes and then removing them to improve the performance of the company. Current state map is prepared to describe the existing position and various problem areas.. Future state map is prepared to show the proposed improvement action plans. The achievements of value stream implementation are reduction in lead time, cycle time and inventory level. It was found that even a small company can make significant improvements by adopting VSM technology. It was concluded that if we adopt the VSM technique the company could reduce the manufacturing lead time from 36.86 days to 34.06 days.

The research is designed to reduce production lead time using Value Stream Mapping (VSM). The purpose of this lean tool is to uncover the wastes in supply and production process by separating value-adding and non-value-adding steps first and then reduce non-value added steps. A map shows the current state of the operation is drawn first using the time and flow data. By this non-value added actions are recognized and the waste of time and resources between the steps are also identified. To reduce lead time and streamline the process the map is analyzed. The lead time can be reduced by taking some actions or applying some lean tools. Value adding time in the whole process increases and the process production lead time decreases after reducing the wastes. A future state map is made with new and improved processes. Future state map makes the reformed process more effective and more efficient. It comprises the developments through some value stream symbols used only for this mapping. Bata, a leading shoe company was selected for this research work. To draw the current state map, data was collected from the floor. The wastes identified then which were waiting, motion, inventory & transport. The lean tools that were suggested to apply for reducing these wastes were Kanban, Kaizen, Safety Stock and some manpower adjustment. Kanban is a method to achieve JIT, a system to control the logistical chain from a production point of view and also an inventory control system. Safety stock represents an inventory hedge against problems such as downtime, to protect the system against sudden fluctuations in customer orders or system failures. And Kaizen is the small and continuous improvement methods. The result of the research was quite remarkable as this decreases the lead time by around 8% and increases the capacity by 8.8%. It is feasible to use value stream map in the current situation.

This article applies value stream mapping (VSM) in a distribution warehouse after identifying and categorizing different warehousing wastes. The study suggests solutions for the reduction of each type of waste and employs lead time as the metric to understand the overall effectiveness of the suggested remedies. The distribution warehouse faced severe stock-out situations and high lead time for all deliveries. Current state and future state maps were utilized for mapping the current and revamped system, respectively. While existing studies on lean warehousing have utilized VSM to study a specific type of waste, this study extends it to include all types of warehousing waste, classifies them into seven types and provides a real case study along with evidence for improvement schemes for each category. This research, employing a case study, suggests an integrated lean warehousing method for design and operation of distribution warehouses. Dilemma/research question/purpose: Can the warehouse avoid stock-outs and decrease the lead time by identifying and reducing or eliminating the seven types of wastes in the warehouse operations? Theory: Lean management principle applied to a warehouse using value stream mapping to eliminate wastes. Type of the case: A problem-solving using lean tools carried out in a warehouse. Protagonist: Not needed. Options: Allow the current state to continue causing stock-outs and high lead times, or identify and reduce the wastes in the warehouse operations and avoid stock-outs, decrease lead times, and improve the overall efficiency of the warehouse. Discussions and case questions: Is it possible for the firm to go one step further than what the future state map has shown in the study? What other lean tools do you see fit to reduce or eliminate the types of waste outlined in this article?

PT. IE is engaged in the business of making Lighting and Lampposts. Based on observations and interviews, there are still some wastes that arise in the flow of the production process, among which there are still many wastes of waiting time, transportation, movement and inventory. These wastes cause the product completion time to be longer and the resulting quality decreases. To eliminate or reduce waste, it is necessary to apply Lean Manufacturing. Lean Manufacturing is a systematic approach to eliminating waste and changing processes by identifying and reducing waste with continuous improvement and striving to create a production flow along the value stream by eliminating all forms of waste and increasing the added value of products to customers. From the Pareto diagram, it is found that transportation waste has the highest percentage of 26.21%, waiting time is 21.38%, motion waste is 19.31% and waste inventories are 15.17%. while the results of the Value Stream Mapping Current State Map mapping obtained a production lead time of 7,680 seconds and a total cycle time of 6,660 seconds and a PCE Current State Map value of 53.09%. Identify the root causes of waste using Fishbone diagrams, 5 Why Analysis, 5W+1H, Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA. After corrective actions have been taken, based on the Value Stream Mapping Future mapping there is a decrease in production lead time to 5,220 seconds and a decrease in total cycle time to 4,860 seconds and an increase in PCE Future State Map to 68.10% so that there is an increase of 15.01% which shows The company's production process has become more Lean.PT. IE bergerak dalam bisnis pembuatan Lighting dan Tiang Lampu. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara, masih terdapat beberapa pemborosan (waste) yang timbul di aliran proses produksi di antaranya masih banyak terjadi pemborosan-pemborosan waktu tunggu, transportasi, gerakan dan inventori. Pemborosan-pemborosan tersebut menyebabkan waktu penyelesaian produk menjadi lebih lama dan kualitas yang dihasilkan menurun. Untuk menghilangkan atau mengurangi pemborosan diperlukan adanya penerapan Lean Manufacturing.Lean Manufacturing merupakan pendekatan sistematik untuk mengeliminasi pemborosan dan mengubah proses dengan cara mengidentifikasi dan mengurangi pemborosan dengan perbaikan kontinu dan berupaya untuk menciptakan aliran produksi sepanjang value stream dengan menghilangkan segala bentuk pemborosan serta meningkatkan nilai tambah produk kepada pelanggan. Dari diagram Pareto ditemukan waste transportasi memiliki persentase paling tinggi sebesar 26,21%, waktu tunggu  21,38%, waste motion 19,31% dan waste inventories 15,17%. sedangkan hasil pemetaan Value Stream Mapping Current State Map diperoleh production lead time selama 7.680 detik dan total cycle time selama 6.660 detik serta nilai PCE Current State Map sebesar 53,09%. Identifikasi akar permasalahan pemborosan menggunakan diagram Fishbone, 5 Why Analysis, 5W+1H, Fault Tree Analysis dan FMEA. Setelah dilakukan tindakan–tindakan perbaikan, berdasarkan pemetaan Value Stream Mapping Future ada penurunan production lead time menjadi 5.220 detik dan penurunan total cycle time menjadi 4.860 detik serta ada peningkatan PCE Future State Map menjadi 68,10% sehingga ada peningkatan 15,01% yang menunjukan proses produksi perusahaan telah menjadi lebih Lean.
