    A lean approach to improve efficiency by using VSM in excel engineering (PVT)
    (UMT, Lahore, 2016) Ali Arslan, Muhammad Zawar, Sohaib Ariz and Abdul Razzaq
    The project that we decided to perform is about value stream mapping, and to perform this project we chose a manufacturing (excel engineering) industry. The excel engineering currently create elevated expectation car and building part which incorporate Casting, Machining, Forging, Fabrication and Heat Treatment offices.. By visiting the industry we analyze that, this is going very difficult for the company to sustain their standard as the demand is increasing. And this also not be possible to meet the time limit criteria of the client. As the solution to save the company from this expected problem and to enhance the performance, the management of the company needs to apply the technique like “value stream mapping”. By the use of this technique they can manage their system properly and it would also be useful to meet their time limit as client expectations. Value stream mapping is lean manufacturing technique used to analyze and improve the stream of data or material required to deliver an item or administration for a client. It includes information flow from top management to work and from the suppliers to customer. For this purpose, six key factors are identified. These key factors are 1) efficiency 2) waiting time 3) lead time 4) work in process 5) defect 6) transportation. The non-value added activities are being identified and eliminated for the purpose of improvement.
