Industries of this generation are spending a considerable amount of money in Research and Development sector to invent and discover new technologies that would help them increase their profits. Lean Manufacturing is a manufacturing philosophy that is now being adopted by many of the big industrial giants across the world to improve the current process. This study applies lean manufacturing tools and techniques to an automotive parts industry located in the Gujarat state of India. The current state of the assembly line is plotted using Value Stream Mapping, a tool of Lean Manufacturing. The processes performed in the current state which were not adding any value to the finished product were then selected as opportunities for improvement. Various lean manufacturing tools were then applied to these processes to either eliminate them or reduce their impact on the total production time. After the implementation of these improvements, a Future State Value Stream Map was plotted. It was possible to reduce the total production lead time from 16.39 days to 6.67 days. Also, 160.3% improvement was done in the total production capacity of the company.
