English abstract:
The introduced methodical approach connects Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Methods-Time
Measurement (MTM) and offers new distinct advantages to reduce lead time and increase productivity based
on lean principles and standardised processes. The mutually aligned design and improvement of assembly
and (production) logistic processes takes either the workplaces, their surroundings and the supply areas as
well as the overall value chain into account.
Principle, benefits and the procedure of application are described in the paper. A practical example
highlights the redesign of assembly workplaces and the redesign of (production) logistic processes to reduce
inventory/lead time.
Keywords:
Value Stream Mapping, MTM, productivity, lead time reduction, ergonomic workplace design
