Abstract

The paper aims at improving production performance of an automated production line by lean manufacturing implementation. The production performance has been improved in an Indian industry by identifying and eliminating non-value added activities through value stream mapping. An increase in the production rate per day by 10.37%, decrease in production lead time by 10.51%, and reduction of non-value added time by 4.00% have been observed. Production levelling has been done to meet the increased customer demand without investment. The present case study will provide the managers an approach to improve productivity even in an automated production line.
