Productivity Improvement of Exhaust Gas Recirculating (EGR) Elbow by using value stream mapping of lean manufacturing - A Technical Review

Abstract

The manufacturing industry is adopting lean manufacturing practices. Many manufacturers struggle to produce a product, produce the right products or services in the right place and timely delivery meeting. To survive in today's competitive world, manufacturers need to come up with innovative ways reducing production lead times to improve productivity and performance goal. Today, it is aimed at improving production performance by reducing production lead time and dissipation of existing production the most important goals for almost every manufacturing company. Each industry's shop floor contains multiple stations that work together to complete specific activities according to a timetable in order to fulfil the production rate. Machine breakdowns, inventory shortages, and tool shortages all cause delays in meeting demand. Excess inventory at workstations accumulates as a result of excessive mobility, faulty machine shop design, and inaccurate location of operation, to name a few examples, all of which waste time at workstations and impede production rates. The only lean tool recommended in the literature to eliminate Muda, or bottlenecks, across the manufacturing line is value stream mapping. Before implementing techniques, value stream mapping uses a current state map to record the current status of the production line. The main purpose of this study is to design I Effective Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to improve productivity in automobile part manufacturer company in to delete non-value functions and establish a future state for the action plan's process improvement to sum up, the proposed Future Value Stream Map (FVSM) aids in the effective identification of inefficient activities and industrial processes, according to this research. By lowering the manufacturing lead time, VSM serves as an input for improvement
