Track: Lean

Abstract

The study examines the unloading and repacking process of Read With Me Group Company Limited. The research aims to improve the old work process and build a new efficient process with the Lean Technique and new machines for faster delivery without increasing the number of employees. Currently, two employees work based on five days on and off. However, workplace injuries have delayed the delivery time. When Value Stream Mapping was used to examine the data gathered, Non-Value Added was discovered, and a LEAN Manufacturing waste was identified in the working process. 37.20% of the total production time is Non-Value Added processing time found in the repacking process. The results of the new working process, improved plant layout, and cycle time before and after the adjustments are documented in the Flow Process Chart. By comparing the cycle time before and after modifications to the machinery and plant layout, the working day has been calculated in order to determine the Percentage of Efficiency. The improvements demonstrate a 25% increase in working space, a 42.82% decrease in process lead time, a 175.82% gain in work efficiency, and a zero percent injury rate at work.
