Abstract

Obtaining competitive advantage and market differentiation are essential for an organization to excel and thrive. In this context, the use of a flexible manufacturing system can be a source of advantage and differentiation; however, the implementation of the Toyota production system is still a major obstacle for companies due to a lack of knowledge of the available tools. In this way, the present work proposes to study Value Stream Mapping, a very recent and still little used tool that is part of the set of techniques and concepts of lean manufacturing. In addition to the conceptual theoretical study through the reading and study of the bibliographic references on the subject, a statistical survey will be made of several case studies in which they are applied to the procedures of implementation of the MFV. Through the careful analysis of the articles with the largest reductions in lead time, it was found that in the literature and in published articles these tools are presented in a theoretical way, but there are few of them applied in industries and even fewer if they were successful or not. Therefore, the scope of this work is to list these procedures, to discuss them and to present practical examples of real cases in which these procedures were successfully applied.
