Değer akış haritalama ile uygunsuz malzemelerin akış analizi: Bir otomotiv işletmesinde uygulama

Today, with the shift from a product-oriented to a customer-oriented vision, organizations can sustain their competitive advantage if they keep pace with this evolution. One of the essential technology in the automobile industry is lean manufacturing, which has become the standard strategy in many firms. As a result, businesses began to make significant efforts to improve their efficiency. In order to improve service levels and reduce production lead times, costs, lean manufacturing princples are implemented. There are several different lean techniques, which permit lean production and eliminate waste to satisfy customer needs as and when requested. One of the most useful and visual technique is value stream mapping (VSM) which defines all value-added and non-value-added process activities in the system in terms of time, cost, and labor. In this study, the value stream map of an automotive oil pump company is drawn and the improvement actions are discussed with the management team using the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and corrective actions are made using lean manufacturing system techniques such as kaizen, 5S, and the future state value stream map was drawn.
