“…Ergo-VSM, a blend of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Ergonomic Analysis, stands as an innovative approach that enhances processes without compromising productivity [41]. This lean manufacturing tool not only helps in identifying current process steps and assessing value-added and non-value-added activities, but also strives to improve overall production processes [42].…”

The Integral Ergonomic-Value Stream Mapping (Ergo-VSM) methodology is introduced in this study, which is tailored for the metal-mechanic sector and aims to assess the operational and ergonomic conditions of production processes. The methodology is designed to identify ergonomic risks and propose an improvement plan to increase productivity by integrating ergonomic measurement instruments aligned with official standards and lean manufacturing tools such as VSM and Kaizen. The study, which was conducted in a metal-mechanical MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises), resulted in an 11.8% overall improvement in psychosocial risk factors, a 4.4% increase in productivity with a 1.96-h reduction in cycle time, and a 20% decrease in reported quality rejections. Notably, the study shows that the Integral Ergo-VSM can be implemented in a variety of organizational contexts, ensuring adaptability without jeopardizing the methodology’s core objectives.

Sustainable manufacturing is critical today because it incorporates economic, environmental, and social factors into the manufacturing process. This research proposes a new framework for assessing manufacturing sustainability, including physical and mental workloads. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is proposed to determine the weight of the triple bottom line (TBL) indicator. Each TBL indicator is evaluated for efficiency before being integrated into the sustainable value stream mapping (VSM) and traffic light system (TLS). Time, quality, raw materials, energy, water consumption, mental workload, and physical workload are the seven indicators used in this study. The framework proposed is applied to a case study in the plastics industry. The results show that the proposed framework can solve industrial problems. The manufacturing sustainability score in this industry is 75.06%, indicating that the company has moderate performance and needs improvement. In addition, this study includes implications and recommendations.
