... into I4 but lacked a systematic framework. This study aims to focus on proposing a systematic framework to approach I4 from lean manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach Assembly line data collected from an industry was used to create seven simulation models using ARENA software. Two lean tools...

..., rearrange, simplify and increase theory and Kanban management method. Further, simulation is done to compare current VSM and future VSM. After implementing the proposed model, findings indicated that the idle time of equipment was effectively reduced, the line of balance of the production line...

... on reducing waste such as waiting, unnecessary displacement and low people productivity. The purpose of this paper is to present the value stream mapping (VSM) of patients at an occupational medicine clinic, proposing a new scenario with the aid of the simulation of discrete events to reduce the total waiting...

... and knowledge be due client back to provider. This paper aims to apply lean manufacturing using value stream mapping (VSM) in the manufacturing organization (automotive suspension and fastening components section). To validate the VSM approach, simulation has been done. VSM approach has been used...

... of industry. With the indicators, continuous improvement scenarios can be explored by value stream discrete event simulation. Design/methodology/approach – From literature, indicators regarding asset specificity to measure lean implementation are found. These indicators are analysed by a linear least...

...) was applied at the task level and servicing cycle level to reduce the task content, cycle length and resources in servicing. The loading of the servicing facility was simulated through a simulation program developed from a statistical analysis of historical data for validating/simulating/determining optimum...

... confused because of the existence of these multiple options. In this paper, the goal is to assist practitioners in the selection of the critical sub‐processes. Design/methodology/approach The authors discuss various statistical methods such as correlation and regression, simulation, basic statistics...

...Wei Zhan Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Six Sigma as an innovative tool in software design optimization. The problem of reducing simulation time for characterizing a type of DC motor is studied in this paper. The case study illustrates how Six Sigma tools...

... empirically and through the triage database. The statistics of the collected empirical data represent the initial state of the system and are utilised as the input of ARENA^® simulation. A simulation scenario is designed by constructing a 3×3 table (= nine combinations) that contains a varying...
