Design Of Lean Manufacturing System Using Value Stream Mapping
A Case Study In Al-Diwaniya Tires Factory
Abstract
The aim of this study is to design a Lean Manufacturing system using one of its most important tools: the value stream mapping to identify, remove or simplify steps and activities that do not add value as a method of improving productivity in the organization.
The practical problem of the study was the length and number of activities and procedures adopted in manufacturing the frame (size 1200-20) and size.
The study is based on the analysis of the current situation in the organization. The study site for the frame manufacturing line (size 1200-20) is carried out through the current value stream mapping through the use of one of its tools process activity mapping.
The study followed the case study in Diwaniyah Tire Factory, and collected the data and information through the field and the interviews conducted by the researcher with the officials in the factory and determine the current operations and activities of the sample of the study of the manufacturing line of tires size 1200-20,. The most important conclusions of the study were:
- The study shows that using the proposed value stream mapping contributes to reducing the times (add value, unadd value, process, waiting, cycle time and work in process) in the study sample, as well as reducing costs and improving productivity.
Among the most important recommendations of the study:
1 - The need to apply the value stream mapping in the plant to take advantage of the information provided by the activities and procedures that do not add value, which contributes greatly to the identification and destruction of waste.
