This research examines the current production process and to discover and reduce non-value added activities and other alternatives to improve the process through reduction of the work-in-process inventory (WIP), reduction of the set-up times, and reorganizing the work area in a more efficient way. This research benefits any manufacturing company considering increase thru-put via reducing batch sizes, line balancing, and developing a more efficient process layout.
