Materials Science Forum, 2019

Abstract

The main aim of Lean Manufacturing concept is to produce more with less: space, stock, workforce and time. The companies that along the years implemented Lean Manufacturing, reached a spectacular development, mainly because with the same workforce and financial resources, succeeded to increase significantly their profit (some reached up to 300-400% increase). The strength of Lean concept is the calculation of value of product for the final client, considering each stage of manufacturing. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to analyze and improve the manufacturing flow of a component, from the system entry point to its exit using Flow Mapping and Value Stream Mapping. After all the actions on improving the flow, the activities without added value decreased with 15.92% and the lead time with 15.61%
