IMPROVING LEAN MANUFACTURING SYSTEM USING VALUE STREAM MAPPING ANALYSIS

This study aims to identify waste in company x and provide recommendations for improvements in the scope of gembos paper production. Thus, this research can be beneficial in solving problems in the production scope, especially in identifying waste. An appropriate method is needed to identify the waste in the scope of production, namely by using the Value Stream Mapping method as the first step in identifying waste in the paper production scope, then proceed with using the five whys method to find out the root of the problem and to help provide a solution to a problem that exists on the paper production floor at company X. The results of this study describe the current state mapping as a mapping on the scope of production, then proceed with value streams in the fourth each process starting from receiving raw materials, preparing elliptical machines, elliptical machine processes, and the paper making machines. Displaying the results of five whys explained the root of the problem and provide solutions or recommendations based on the analysis, thus this research is beneficial for companies in helping to solve problems that occur on the production process so that the production system can be effective and efficient.
