Using value stream concepts, both current and future states maps of the organization's shop floor scenarios have been discussed to identify sources of waste between the existing state and the proposed state of the selected organization for improving its competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach -VSM process symbols have been used to discuss lean implementation stages in the auto-parts manufacturing unit. Current states of the selected manufacturing unit have been prepared with the help of VSM symbols and improvement areas have been identified. Few modifications in current state have been made and with these modifications, a future state map is suggested. Findings -After comparison of the current and future states of the selected manufacturing unit, it has been found that 69.41% reduction in cycle time, 18.26% reduction in work inprocess inventory and 24.56% reduction in production lead times for Replacement Ball product. While for Weldon Ball End product, 51.87% reduction in cycle time, 21.51% reduction in work in-process inventory, 25.88% reduction in lead time has been noted. Research limitations/implications -The findings of this case study are valid due to limited selection of products only. Originality/value -This paper depicts the true picture of implementation of lean manufacturing tools in an organization.

The sample consists of 100 alcoholics and 100 non-alcoholics in the age range of 18-30 years. The measures used for this study are Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Levenson's Locus of control and Covert and Overt Hostility Scale. The results are discussed in terms of comparison of means and discriminant analysis. The result clearly reveals that significant differences were found on personality characteristics, locus of control and hostility between alcoholics and non-alcoholics.
