Purpose: This paper describes a typical Value stream mapping (VSM) application enhanced by the discrete event … simulation (DES) to a dedicated tubular manufacturing process. Design/Methodology/Approach: VSM is prescribed as part of lean … views. It is served as a complementary tool for the traditional VSM to provide sufficient justification and quantifiable …

project development is carried out using the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) technique.Findings and Originality/value: Relying on …

(VSM) related process layout design optimization problem. Design/methodology/approach: A case study approach was used to … design optimization issue has not been well addressed in the VSM literature. We believe that this paper initiated the …

process analysis and by application of the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) methodology. The financial benefit accrues form latter … VSM (since in new scenario the pizza can be baked in less than half the time), and a better competence, facilitating the …
