In the present competitive era, it is most essential for manufacturing industries to work efficiently and adopt contemporary management practices like lean manufacturing, process integration, and inter-organizational collaborations. The effective implementation of lean manufacturing tools helps to eliminate the wastes along with their causes and also helps to eliminate them, achieving higher quality, effective process flow and to deliver the product at a reduced cost. The current paper addresses the role of implementation of a lean manufacturing tool i.e. value stream mapping in process development in the context of the manufacturing sector.
