Abstract
Value stream mapping is a tool often applied in organisations working with lean production to visualise and analyse production processes. By creating a value stream map, an organisation can identify its main criticalities and look at both information and material flow mapping to enhance lean manufacturing. Hence, this work aims to develop a value stream mapping for the ETP Ion DetectTM Company to demonstrate the possibilities of seeing sources of waste, shortening the lead-time, and reducing work-in-process inventory with the value stream mapping application.
