Applying value stream mapping technique in apparel industry

Yalın üretim, sistemdeki israfları ortadan kaldırmak ve sürekli olarak sistem etkinliğini artırmak temeline dayanmaktadır. Yalın düşüncenin başlangıç noktası olan değer; müşterinin parasını ödemeye hazır olduğu, ihtiyaçlarını belirli zaman diliminde, belirli fiyattan karşılayan, belirli özelliklere sahip belirli bir ürün ve/veya hizmet yaratılmasıdır. Değer akışı haritalandırma yalın üretimin önemli araçlarından birisidir. Bir kağıt kalem tekniği olarak ifade edilen değer akışı haritalandırma, ürünün geçtiği akışlar boyunca oluşan malzeme ve bilgi akışının görülmesine ve anlaşılmasına yardımcı olur. Bu çalışmada, denim pantolon üretimi yapan bir konfeksiyon firmasında değer akışı haritalandırma çalışması uygulanmıştır. Öncelikle mevcut durum ortaya konulmuş, sonrasında yalın teknik ve metotlar uygulanarak gelecek durum haritası oluşturulmuştur. Önerilen gelişmeler ve beklenen faydalar çalışmanın sonuçları olarak sunulmuştur.

Konfeksiyon sektöründe değer akışı haritalandırma tekniğinin uygulanması

Lean production focuses on eliminating waste and increasing the effiency of system continuously. Value, the starting point of lean production, is a property of a product or service that customer is willing to pay and it provides the needs of customer at a specific time and price. Value stream mapping is one of the important tools of lean production. It is a pencil and paper tool that helps to see and understand the flow of material and information as a product makes its waythrough the value stream. In this paper, a value stream mapping study was carried out in a apparel company which produces jeans. First, the current state was introduced. Then by using lean techniques and methods future state map was created. The results of this study, outlining improvements and expected benefits, were proposed.
