The plastic recycling industry in Indonesia only fill 82% of national need. Plastic recycling industries around Jakarta have a capacity of 80% of their ability. In failure to achieve production capacity this article aims to increase production achievement by the VSM approach. By investigating a plastic recycling industry in Bogor with about 320 Kg/hour production from 400 Kg/hour capacity this study aims to improve the production by focusing on pelletizing. The process consists of five sub-process cello injection pelletizing, cutting, drying, filter, and blower. Improvement focused on two sub-processes with less value sub-cutting with 64.69 minutes and sub process drying with 64.00 to 400 kg. This action reduced the time by 64.69 minutes to 62 minutes. Meanwhile, in the drying sub-process, improvement from the length of the drying process, then it is corrected by increasing the temperature of the vibrator to reduce the bottleneck from 64 minutes to 62 minutes.
