Value stream analysis of manufacturing engineering new product introduction processes. Proceedings of the 18th ISPE International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, Massachusetts, USA 4-8 July 2011, pp327-335978-0-85729-798-3http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-85729-799-0_38http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/7324This paper describes the use of a methodology for value stream mapping and analysis of Manufacturing Engineering New Product Introduction processes. The applicability and usefulness of the technique to process improvement in this domain is explored in a case study where the production system for a new component part is planned and proven. This analysis enables an improvement strategy for the Manufacturing Engineering process to be successfully outlined.en-UKNew Product Introduction, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace, LeanConference paper
