“…The causes of the non-fulfillment of production targets often face problems such as scheduling delays, product quality declines, equipment damage, and human resource control (Khaba et al, 2021). Eight categories of waste have been identified in the mining industry: overproduction, waiting, transportation, overprocessing, inventory, unnecessary motion, defects, and people (N. P. Kumar, 2014a;Seifullina et al, 2018). Therefore, this paper attempts to eliminate waste in the coal production process.…”

Applying Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in the mining industry can increase productivity in production process activities. The coal mining industry has a vital role in life and is an essential investment in the regional economy. However, since 2017, coal production has experienced instability based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics for East Kalimantan Province (2021) and has yet to meet consumer demand. Previous studies have only shed light on the critical theory that VSM has extended to many industries. However, those studies need to explain the concept of applying VSM to the mining industry. Therefore, to support this theory,a case study from the mining industry was conducted to determine cycle times and identify value-adding and non-value-adding activities. A current state map is developed after making the necessary observations and calculations. Different improvement proposals are identified, and a future state map for the industry is constructed. As a result, a 23.4% reduction in cycle time and 56.1% reduction in lead time ensure its applicability in the mining industry to increase productivity and meet customer demands. VSM is a powerful tool that helps mining managers and operators identify waste and opportunities for improvement. Efficiency is one of the most important things to consider in this industry. This study is especially true in the coal mining sector.

“…A case was carried out by applying the DMAIC six sigma approaches in an undergraduate technical institute to improve the students' performance. Similarly the results of a case study was presented for a private elementary school who had implemented the six sigma DMAIC methodology to improve the student performance in the subject of English [26][27][28][29][30].…”

The objective of this research is to improve the overall result and pass percentage of students in degree level technical institutions by eliminating the failure causes using lean six sigma method. A case study was carried out in a degree level technical institute, which has a total intake of 720 students producing 54% of results for the past five years. Taking as a challenge issues to produce more than 75% of results, it was considered to carry out a study using lean six sigma approach. In this research five stage methodology of six sigma i.e. DMAIC have been used to reduce the parameters that affect the system. Failure mode effect analysis, histogram, process capability analysis and fish bone diagram methodologies were also adopted to analyze the depth of the issue and to identify the critical factors that requires to be controlled and to improve by implementing the solutions and remarks received from the stakeholders. From the results it was found that, through this approach the pass percentage level of the technical institute had increased from 54% to 75% by identifying and reducing the appropriate source of failures.

“…It is foundational to the management process and is an allencompassing solution [21][22][23][24][25][26]. The following factors are necessary for successful implementation of lean manufacturing, simultaneously apply at least five lean tools, view lean as a long term journey, instill continuous improvement, change the culture for empowerment and a thorough implementation was carried out [27][28][29][30][31]. In order to work the implementation of lean needs to be driven from the top of an organization.…”

The main aim of this study is to achieve the maximum productivity in an assembly line of a valve manufacturing industry through the implementation of different lean tools to minimize the production time. The existing manufacturing data were collected and interpret the information’s for identifying the gaps for productivity improvement. For obtaining the production line performance we shall introduce a solution after finding the problemswhich affects the lead time. In this research, an attempt was made to introduce a new fixture with appropriate lean methods by focusing on value stream mapping, kaizen etc to eliminate different kinds of lead times consuming phases in the overall process. Designing a fixture for the process is also done in Kaizen, in order to exclude the sub operations. After execution of various lean tools the total cycle time was reduced about 10.49 minutes and the productivity was improved about 20% by eliminating all those non value added activities in the operations to meet the customer demand.
