| Summary: | The aim of this study is to evaluate the process of assembling a piston for a door closer manufactured by Dormakaba, a company that specializes in access control and security solution. Lean production is one of the initiatives that are applied by many manufacturers to obtain the competitive advantages in the increasingly competitive global market. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the key lean tools to identify the opportunities for other lean approaches and for waste elimination in the production system. Since the performance of the process would significantly influence that of individual partners, the implementation of lean thinking should be carried throughout the development of the VSM. This project introduces the VSM used for description, analysis and identification of improvement initiatives internally in the context of a die-casting manufacturing enterprise. It can be seen from the analysis of the “current state” and “future state” VSM that the non-value added activities which are motion and handling waste within the manufacturing plant can be reduced by the launch of lean initiatives internally. This resulted in developing a solution where the improvement has made a significant impact on reducing waste in the process using tools such as 5S, workstation design and poka-yoke. Overall, the implementation done in the assembly process is shown in the future state map which ensued in decreasing the cycle time by 25%. The recommendation plans for future case study to increase the productivity is to conduct a total produc_(i\'c maintenance for the punching machine in the process that is often delayed due to untrained operators and lack of information on the process management. |
