Implementation of Lean Tools-Value Stream Mapping & SMED for Lead Time Reduction in Industrial Valve Manufacturing Company

Article Preview

Abstract:

In lean manufacturing environment Value Stream Mapping (VSM) & SMED are one of the renewed industrial engineering technique used worldwide. VSM is used for visualizing the system of manufacturing and many other relevant processes and helps in great extend to understand to system itself effectively. Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) helps to reduce the setup time of process. A valve manufacturing company was being selected for Case study. First we draw the current state value stream map. From the current data analysis find out the problems and give some recommendations to improve the production lead time and provide a future state value stream map, we reduced the lead time through VSM, from 46.63 days to 43.03 day. Second we applied SMED techniques & reduced the setup time from 21 min to 16 min in bonnet machining operation of valve.
