dc.description.abstract | In our daily life and world, with a
diversity of industries and services, from health to
manufacturing, all kind of products; many of them
care apply Lean concepts or tools to perform
important improvements to their service or
products. Value Stream Map (VSM) is one of the
lean tools than can help to reduce the problem
discussed on this article “cycle time reduction.
One of the major opportunities of Aero Consulting
Company (X) is that the average cycle time of each
project is around 280 days. The main goal of this
project is to evaluate the current state and develop
a future state VSM to reduce the cycle time by 40%.
Currently delivery of each project consists of at
least three milestones, named as: Early-Milestone
(EM), Mid-Milestone (MM), and Final Milestone
(FM). Each of these milestones has several delays,
once the action items have been implemented the
new cycle time will be reduced to 123 calendar
days. This represent to an overall cycle time
reduction of 56%.
