Abstract
Value Stream Mapping has the reputation of uncovering waste in manufacturing, production and business processes by identifying and removing or streamlining non-value-adding steps. Lean manufacturing is a methodology that focuses on minimizing waste within manufacturing systems while simultaneously maximizing productivity. The main role of lean manufacturing is to determine as well as to eliminate the waste. This research paper aim to apply one of the most significant lean manufacturing techniques called value stream mapping (VSM) to improve production line of a manufacture cylinder head recon business industry as a case study by using the value stream mapping technique for identify and eliminate of wastes. Based on future state map, final results showed that by implementing some lean thinking techniques, production lead time decreased from 170 minutes to 130 minutes (in KV Cylinder head line).
