Question

What lean concept relates to eliminating non-value added steps and waste in a product storage process? How would one use value stream mapping to define the process to eliminate the waste?

Answer 1

I will consider the case of versatile assembling process. It incorporates all manual gathering process pursued by the testing procedure. Different analyzer like RF, Audio, Camera and WIFI test are use to check the usefulness of cell phone. Out of all the get together and Test process, RF test having more test time so it will be consider as bottleneck station. At the point when a phase having more process duration contrasts with different procedure so it begins making additionally pending of portable at specific stage. The gadget hanging tight for procedure called as cradle or WIP. If you increase the tester quantity (Bottleneck) then bottleneck will shift to next bottleneck stage.

When you apply the lean framework to versatile get together procedure so it needs to dispense with the non esteem included action from procedure. NVA action like superfluous material development, arrange work in advancement useful disappointment and undesirable movement and so forth.

Material movement will be relating to transportation type of waste.

Stage work in progress (WIP) consider as Inventory type of waste.

Functional failure of mobile consider as Defect type of waste.

Layout change: For less material development it have to important to ideal utilization of creation floor and least development of administrator ought to be considered. Functional failure can be control by providing proper space to keep the mobile inside the production floor so that any damage or impact should not be happen & it will create good impact on material movement so that WIP can be control.
