A Review on Value Stream Mapping to reduce the Cycle Time of Butterfly Valve

Abstract

To stay in Globalize world, industries essential to reduce the cycle time and costs in order to improve operating performance and flexibility. Now days’ company tries to reduction of total lead time and cycle in manufacturing company through lean philosophy. This paper include basic summary of the literature review for the purpose of research on the investigation of use of value stream mapping to enhance productivity by reducing cycle time. The main purpose of this work is to show the use of VSM methodology which were used in assembly of butterfly valve to increase productivity. Value Stream Mapping is a basic and mostly used lean tool to identify and overcome of waste and it cause. VSM is language of lean manager. The review shows that the VSM tool is assure to reduce waste, enhance the productivity and cycle time reduction. Value stream mapping is differ in terms of it able to collect information of individual process, cycle time, up time, available time, change over time, WIP inventory, and manpower requirement.
