AB  - The globalization of Indian economy is creating both opportunities 
  and challenges for innovative enterprises, forcing them to make radical improvements, 
  not only to compete and prosper but also to survive. Lean thinking is considered 
  as a successful business strategy which employs minimization of process variability 
  and non-value added activities (waste). Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach 
  for identifying and eliminating waste (non-value added activities) through continuous 
  improvement by flowing the product at the pull of customer in pursuit of perfection. 
  Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the strong tool in a lean kit. A value 
  stream map provides a blue print for implementing lean manufacturing concept 
  by illustrating how the flow of information and material should proceed. The 
  objective of this study is to minimize the non value added activities, work 
  in process inventory and lead time of the product by balancing the TAKT Time 
  of individual operation to the demand of the market through implementation of 
  Future Value Stream Mapping (FVSM).
