Elimination of waste through value add/non value add process analysis to improve cost productivity in manufacturing - a case study

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a very comprehensive tool to that allows an organization to identify sources of waste and implements process improvements. This paper describes the adoption of VSM in a semiconductor manufacturing company to improve personnel efficiency and optimize headcount in the pr...
