Abstract

With rapid changes of market environment, it is very important for manufacturing enterprises to shorten production cycle time to respond to customers’ requirements quickly. Through an investigation for the production processes of SM6 series products in M electric equipment manufacturing enterprise, the authors use value stream map and other lean concepts and techniques to identify and eliminate hidden wastes during the whole production process. Finally, we achieve pull mode of production, shorten production cycle, reduce inventory, and save manpower.
