Abstract

Many enterprises in India have deployed lean production in consideration of its great success in other countries, but many of them failed to realize their original targets because they began to deploy lean production from tool level and haven’t understood the actual value stream of their business, which is essential for an enterprise to implement lean production and keep improving. The purpose of this study is to follow the value stream, walk the flow and determine the value adding and non-value adding process. This will help eliminate roots of wastes, rearrange overall value stream better increase the competitive ability and organizational efficiency.
