Abstract
The company under study is a company specializing in producing cosmetics. Sales of the company have declined sharply in recent years due to failure to deliver on time. After analyzing, the root causes of the problem of low on-time delivery rate are high production lead time and high cycle time in the packaging processes. The study applied value stream management, VSM, to improve packaging production process of the company. The primary objectives were to reduce the production lead time and reduce production cycle time to meet the takt time, thereby improving the on-time delivery rate and the company’s sales. The results had shown that the lead time had been reduced by 46.23% from 42.4 to 22.8 h, the cycle time had been reduced 31.25% from 32 to 22 s, meeting the takt time.
