AB In the current world, the business faces different challenges, as it was in the 1950th. Today, most of the manufacturing companies have a very strict approach to increasing market needs of Safety, Quality, Delivery and Cost key performance indicators (KPI). To stay competitive, it is needed, that a holistic approach on the improvement of strategic KPIs is needed in order to be successful. The target of this paper is to show the application of the Value stream mapping methodology, used in a case study for a finish good assembly line in an Electronic Manufacturing Facility. The study is showing the improvement of quality, delivery and productivity KPIs over a time period of 3 consecutive years. The result is the increase of production output from 500 pcs/shift to 1050 pcs/shift, decreasing the number of quality returns from 3 to 0 and improving the delivery performance from 95 to 100% against customer requested date.
