Abstract

Addressing issues such as insufficient production capacity, low efficiency, and prolonged cycle times for Company A's S1 product, this study employs Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to conduct an in-depth analysis of its actual production status.to identify inefficiencies such as waste and waiting. Optimization was achieved through methods including ECRS (Engineering Change, Reengineering, Simplification, and Reduction) principles for quick die change and lean manufacturing practices. These measures eliminated or reduced non-value-added activities, improved line balancing rates, and refined process parameters via DOE (Design of Experiments) experiments. Consequently, S1 production efficiency and capacity increased, cycle times decreased, customer responsiveness accelerated, and overall company competitiveness enhanced.
