Two VSMs were created for one part of plant C (case study 1) and plant D (case study 2), based on the Methodology of Rother and Shook (1999). The methods described by the authors mentioned before, state five steps that should be followed to create a VSM. The steps are: 1. Identify the product 2. Create a current VSM 3. Evaluate the Current map, identify problem areas 4. Create a future state map. However, the product units were expressed in (MBF) rather than discrete units, as established in Shook and Rother (2003). 3.3.1 IDENTIFY THE PRODUCT For case study 1, three visits were conducted and for case study 2, two visits were made. For both case studies, the first visit was made to see the manufacturing plant and to identify the different products that each company produces. Then, in a conversation with the production manager, it was determined which of their products had higher demand, and based on this value the product line was chosen. For plant C, the 3.25” wide red oak finished flooring was chosen, and for plant D, 3.25” wide red oak unfinished flooring 3.3.2 VSM CREATION To create the VSM, a data gathering instrument was developed based on the methodology described by Shook and Rother (2003). to collect the information from each process in Plant C and D. The data was gathered during a second and third visit of Plant C and during a second visit for Plant D. Table 7 shows the data collection instrument for the two case studies. 49PDF Image | Impact of Vacuum-Drying on Efficiency of Hardwood Products
