To enable sustainable continuous process improvements within organizational framework, Lean Manufacturing methodologies are considered as a competitive management approach. Therefore, in this study a Flexographic Printing Process is selected to demonstrate the systematic implementation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM): a Lean Manufacturing tool, integrated with small Kaizen activities to achieve methodically fostered process improvements. Overall Equipment Effectiveness and production cost are taken as performance metrics to evaluate the process improvements hence the significance of VSM.
