1) Relating back to your future state VSM propose approaches which can

feasibly be considered when implementing lean and 6s manufacturing

principles within the case company.
2) Stating where the most benefit would be gained.
3) While documenting your implementation plan are there any tools and
techniques which you would not implement; either immediately, within the
year or indeed at any time?

The main objectives of lean and six sigma manufacturing is to improve the efficiency of
process and eliminating wastes in operation through efficiently and identify the continuous
improvement process with flow of the product/service by customer requested. VSM is a tool
that can be provided a visual picture of material and information flow throughout entire
organization. It helps to find the reduce of wastes as well as creation of effective flow.
(Wilson,2009).

LSS methodology has approached to implement the organization value by improve quality,
increase speed, customer satisfaction and cost benefits and it can contribute towards greater
sustainability in this industry (Laureani and Antony, 2012; Jeyaraman and Teo, 2010; Salah
et al., 2010).

Implementation of LSS in a manufacturing company

The aim of this framework is to minimize the error and variation, while LSS goal is targeted
to rise waste reduction, economic sustainability as well as speeding up the process and
generating value are all priorities. (Muganyi et al., 2019; Gijo et al., 2018; Thortorella et al.,
2018; De Freitas and Gomes Costa, 2017; Marques and Matthe, 2017; Thomas et al., 2016;
Bamford et al., 2015; Piercy and Rich, 2015; Choi et al., 2012; Hilton and Sohal, 2012;
Manville et al., 2012). The certain major benefits were observed. (Chakravorty and Shah,
2012; Desai et al., 2012; Habidin et al., 2016; Timans et al., 2016; Yuen et al., 2016; Juliani
and Oliveira, 2019)
after implementing LSS to maximise VSM efficiency and expose problems which are
characteristics.

 Reduction in inventory.
 Reduction in motion of raw materials.
 Reduced costs of poor quality.
 Improved customer satisfaction.
 Reduced cycle time and lead time.
 Defect-free work and eliminating rework
 Efficient in productivity.

In the Evenort case study The organization has considered to change the entire process of
material and batch size machine line to Re-arrange process product route. Firstly there is a
major problem in inventory size
