e-VSM MAKE EASY

Abstract

Background and problem statement: Value stream mapping (VSM) is backbone tools in lean used to examine and enhance the flow of materials or information. In the context of e-VSM, the "e" typically stands for "electronic" or "electronicbased." It describes the application of digital to the value stream mapping process. Using software, computer-based tools, or online platforms, e-VSM able to monitor and assess improvement suggestions and digitally record value streams. Current State Value Stream Mapping (VSM) : Comparable time was done between manual value stream mapping (VSM) and electronic-value stream mapping (eVSM) a total of 7 processes with total process time (TPT) of 56 minutes and total waiting time (TWT) of 48 minutes, resulting in a process efficiency (PE) of 53.85 %. The post electronic-value stream mapping (e-VSM) revealed a total of 2 processes, with TPT of 15 minutes, TWT of 0 minutes and the PE of 100.00%. The PE increased by 46.15%. Non-value added (NVA) activities identified were inventory, motion, extraprocessing, transportation and non-utilized talent. Kaizen Burst & Root Cause Analysis : In manual system, participants must draw and calculate process and time for efficiency.To simplify the process e VSM were used to enter the whole process and autocalculate for total waiting time, total processing time, lead time, and process efficiency. Moreover analysis on non value added, value added and value enable also calculated. Countermeasures & Action Plan : Excell format was used to preplan the value stream mapping structure. eVSM was used under guidance in every lean health care course at Bukit Mertajam Hospital and lean health care state level course. This include awareness and refresher course. Duration of teaching can be shortened from two days to one day. Sustainability: eVSM was used widely in kaizen office meeting at hospital level Bukit Mertajam Hospital. eVSM is inclusive in lean teaching modul at Pulau Pinang towards lean digitilisation.
