Abstract

Now-a-days lean concepts are being implemented in many manufacturing industries for the identification of non-value added activities (NVA) and to reduce wastes to improve productivity. The electrical motor manufacturing industry has been selected for the investigation to identify the scope of implementing lean principles. The investigation results showed that NVAs found to be more in storage of semi-finished products in between machines, transporting parts, dimensional measurements and issues in workplace design with ergonomics perspective. Hence an object is set in this project to identify the NVA by plotting value stream mapping (VSM). Data collected from industries were used to draw present state VSM. Suitable lean tools were identified and suggested to reduce NVA. Future state map of VSM is drawn by incorporating improvement suggestions.
