Best Value Stream Mapping Services & Training in Mumbai, India
To achieve 100% efficiency in manufacturing, we need a perfect balance between time, money, and quality. In reality, it is not easy to accomplish this. However, we have an opportunity to make continuous improvements. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is an excellent tool for any business to begin its journey towards perfection. VSM efficiently addresses all key process steps and supply chain needs across all domains and value points within a business model. By mapping the flow of data and knowledge required to obtain a product or service to a customer, VSM helps to recognise and eliminate waste, simplify processes, and optimise resource utilisation. This can result in lowered lead times, increased productivity, and, most significantly, improved customer satisfaction. Value Stream Mapping in Mumbai, India, can manage and scale supply chain operations in the services and manufacturing industries. This makes it a valuable asset for businesses aiming for operational excellence and continuous improvement.
How Does ARROWHEAD map your Value Stream Efficiently?
Making Manufacturing “Lean”
Lean manufacturing is a systematic methodology that strives to reduce Lean waste, create sustainable customer value, and maintain continuous process improvement. This system adapts traditional lean project management principles, techniques, and tools in the mainstream supply chain.
Five principles of Lean Manufacturing System:
– Map value stream from order entry to dispatch for specific product, product family or site
– Identify all value add and non-value add time within the system
– Identify push or pull flow between each work center
-Clearly establish a ratio of Value Add : Non-Value Add
– Build an Ideal State with lean concepts for drastic improvement in VA:NVA ratio
In every VSM, ARROWHEAD begins with clearly identifying all opportunities that can be simplified/optimized/eliminated/improved within any process from Order entry to Dispatch, that have repeatable steps-specially one with multiple handoffs. In manufacturing, handoffs are easier to visualize because they typically involve handing over specific deliverables through the site.
Once this is done, ARROWHEAD’s Black Belts help identify all kaizen opportunities with defined targets that can significantly improve your ratio of non-value versus value added time.
