Abstract

Value stream mapping is prescribed as part of the lean production portfolio of tools and has been applied in a variety of industries. This paper describes an application of value stream mapping, enhanced by simulation, to a dedicated product line in an engineer-to-order motion control products manufacturing plant. This paper makes two primary contributions: an application of value stream mapping in an actual setting and the use of simulation to answer questions that could not be addressed only using the static view provided by value steam mapping. This paper describes both the current state and the future state for the product line, as well as the analysis and results obtained from simulation. We conclude with a discussion of future research and applications in this area.
