Value Stream Mapping of a Mechanical Assembly Process

Abstract:

This paper presents the analysis of a gear motor assembly process based on the value stream mapping. It describes the steps of creating the so-called present state map, which represents the actual course and parameters of the investigated process. Basing on the analysis of this map the future state map was developed; it suggests changes in its particular areas. Also, benefits of these changes were estimated; the benefits contribute to the improvement of the investigated process realisation.
