AN APPLICATION OF SIMULATION AND VALUE STREAM mapping INLEAN MANUFACTURINGYang-Hua Lian, Hendrik Van LandeghemDepartment of Industrial ManagementGhent UniversityTechnologiepark, 903, B-9052, Ghent, Belgiumemail: Manufacturing, SIMULATION , VALUE Stream MappingABSTRACTP hysical factory layout redesigns or changes of the supplychain infrastructure involve high costs. Through simulationand VALUE stream mapping , managers can see the impactsbefore the implementation and transform the organizationinto a lean one at minimal cost. In this paper, we investigatesome relevant lean manufacturing literature where leanprinciples and tools are presented or utilized. Twosimulation models are built for two respective scenarios,push and pull (kanban) systems. Model templates areexplained and the key measurements such as lead times,throughput rates, VALUE -added ratios are compared as wellas evaluated. The effects of lean are clearly demonstratedby the INTRODUCTION"Lean" has been originally created and defined as theelimination of muda (waste) in the book "The Machine thatChanged the World" by Womack, Jones, and Roos(Womack et al.)
