a) Construct a value stream map (VSM)for the new product developed under section a) and b) using a MS Officeprogram. It should have a supplier at the one end and a customer at theother end, an information flow with minimum one core activity, amaterial flow with at least five core activities, at least threeinventory locations. You should also enter the value added and non-valueadded times for all core activities and inventories, and determine theratio of value added and non-value added times
b) As part of the VSM that you createdearlier, pick at least four different waste forms and identify at leasttwo examples for each of the four waste forms (all together eightexamples)
Determine at least one root cause foreach waste example and recommend at least one improvement action foreach of the root causes (all together eight root causes and eightimprovement actions)
c) For the process that you pickedearlier for value stream mapping, construct a production (layout) floorplan (with at least five core activities) using a MS Office program.Determine the location of equipment, personnel, inventory, etc. as wellas the flow of materials/goods with their proper names.
d) For your product, construct a JITproduction flow based on a Kanban Pull system. Label all the elementsand activities within the layout, and describe how the pull systemworks.
