Graphical Analysis of Improvements in Manufacturing Processes as Result of Kaizen Events

Abstract:

Productivity is an important factor in any industrial production. Based on several concepts and philosophies such as Kaizen and others, it is possible to realize an increase of productivity. Since it is of great interest to know and to evaluate the improvement, a suitable method that allows not only analyzing the improvement of cost but also of time is of interest. Based on the value stream map (VSM) and the profile of cost and time (PCT) the author has developed the PECOTA method, a graphical method of analysis. The concept of investment in time and cost by PECOTA allows first-time analysis and evaluation of a change in a manufacturing process in an easy and fast way. The method includes also the possibility to define the limit of lean manufacturing with the current processes.
