Value Stream mapping technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are involved with a process or transformation. In this respect, Value stream mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the main flows, from raw material to the arms of customers. Process activity mapping is a Value stream mapping (VSM) tool has its origins in industrial engineering. The technique is known by a number of names although process analysis is the most common. Current effects of wastes on processes are observed. Process activity mapping steps are studied and wastes are identified. Different flow layouts are studied and best layout is selected that reduces the transport time. In this paper a case study in xyz foundry is carried out with current state map and future state map after following the different steps starting from the detailed time study of mapping process from raw material to final product. The steps including waste elimination techniques with conversion of existing waste into standard wastes are described. Statistical charts are prepared for the identification of bottleneck product is presented. A case study in xyz foundry for waste reduction with process activity mapping is carried out to identify the process flow and non value adding activities. The study is focused only on foundry production line (Line 1 namely KOYO production line) which contributes to 98% of the castings of the foundry. The Value stream mapping tool is used to analyze both the flow of materials and the flow of information. The line is semi-automated and the casting goes through various processes drums, conveyors, sand separation, sand preparation, knock out, degating, shot blasting etc. Mapping the value stream activities of other products would give similar results with small differences in numerical values as some castings are simple, requires hot/cold box process while some are complex requiring cold/hot box process. However the bottleneck product Unterlage is selected for the study. This study is a case study applied for the foundry processes which are continuous processes as production lines are semi automated and the analysis uses the process activity mapping tool. This tool is selected with questionnaires, interviews and brainstorming sessions with manager and operators on the shop floor (2). Marketing, production planning & control dept., pattern shop has helped us to give past record values of foundry production line for e.g. marketing dept. has given monthly customer order, production planning dept. has given the total foundry layout, pattern shop has given classification of simple and complicated jobs depending upon their work experience etc.
