Paper Title
Waste Reduction in Production Processes in The Discrete Industry Through VSM
Abstract
Organizations are constantly looking for ways to increase productivity, save costs, and boost customer satisfaction
in the very competitive environment of discrete manufacturing industries. This study aims to address these issues by
examining the use of lean manufacturing and Value Stream Mapping approaches to shorten lead times in discrete
manufacturing processes.Lean principles have proven to be a valuable methodology for optimizing processes by eliminating
waste and improving overall flow. This study delves into the practical implementation of lean principles, such as 5S,
Just-in-Time (JIT), and Kanban, within discrete manufacturing environments. It explores their effectiveness in streamlining
operations and achieving significant reductions in lead times.In conclusion, this research contributes valuable insights into the
synergistic approach of Lean techniques and Value Stream Mapping as effective tools for lead time reduction in discrete
manufacturing industries. By leveraging these methodologies, organizations can optimize their operations, enhance their
competitive advantage, and ultimately provide better value to their customers.
