![]() In the present study is implemented the lean methodology called Value Stream Mapping or mapping value chain in a packaging company glass, in order to identify and eliminate those activities that do not add value to the process and in turn improve performance in logistics area of the company reducing the feeling of a low level of service. Lean Manufacturing tools has been positioned in the business environment as clear and efficient methodologies for process optimization in any type of business. Finally, the VSM future’s legitimacy was confirmed through simulation, validating the results obtained from the LM tools’ application. Moreover, a warehouse distribution of raw material was proposed, obtaining the unification of all the materials involved in the process. The study also included the balancing of lines, getting a reduction of 14% in “cycle time” and 66% in “lead time”, generating a mixed production (push and pull). Additionally, the 5S tool was used to maintain tidiness and cleanliness within the processes for obtaining an agile production flow. Regarding process mapping, the bicycle model E26 was selected for illustrative purposes. This article proposes optimizing processes within a bicycle assembly plant by applying a LM tool called Value Stream Map (VSM), which presents the current production processes and their requirements, facilitating the identification of waste within the system. At a time when the differentiating factor is found in efficiency and competitiveness in production, Lean Manufacturing (LM) philosophy contributes to these differentiators, focusing mainly on the elimination of waste to obtain an improvement in processes, quality, and delivery times, being evident the results in a short period. ![]() Manufacturing and assembly industries are continually searching to optimize their resources and achieve improvements in their production systems. ![]()
