| Abstract: | Value stream mapping (VSM) is one of the most important lean manufacturing tools to identify and reduce all type of wastes in a systematic way. This paper demonstrates the effect of VSM implementation on cost of poor quality, in-process rejections, percentage value addition, lead time, work in process inventory, distance travelled by components and percentage scrap through a case study of VSM implementation in an Indian automotive industry. The results of the study show that the productivity and quality of a company can be improved by implementation of VSM. |
