“…Kasava analysed the process of line maintenance and four main activities were identified. These were broken down into smaller sub activities and subsequently categorised into value adding and non-value adding activities [20]. Eliminating the unnecessary activities also contributes to cost reduction [3] because the main objective is to respond to the requirements and desires of the end customer as efficiently and economically as possible and with minimal effort, minimal workforce, minimal facilities and in the shortest possible time [17].…”

“…The success of value stream mapping is, for example, also demonstrated in product development phases [64], logistical system design [65], software development [66], and service industries [67], so that the universality of this lean technique is worthy of note. Finally, other applications of value stream analysis focused on environmental, waste reduction [68], or manufacturing sustainability performance improvement [69][70][71] are presented in the bibliography, and also social and economic sustainability issues are targeted with value stream analysis [72][73][74].…”

Value Stream Analysis in Military Logistics: The Improvement in Order Processing Procedure

et al. 2019

Military logistics is a complex process where response times, demand uncertainty, wide variety of material references, and cost-effectiveness are decisive for combat capability. The demanding flexibility can only be achieved by improving supply chain management (SCM) to minimize lead times. To cope with these requirements, lean thinking can be extended to military organizations. This research justifies and proposes the use of lean methodologies to improve logistics processes with the case study of a military unit. In particular, the article presents the results obtained using value stream mapping (VSM) and value stream design (VSD) tools to improve the order processing lead time of spare items. The procedure starts with an order generation from a military unit that requests the material and ends before transportation to the final destination. The whole project was structured, considering the define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) problem-solving methodology. The results show that the future state map might increase added-value activities from 44% to 70%. After implementation, it was demonstrated that the methodology applied reduced the lead-time average and deviation up to 69.6% and 61.9%, respectively.Appl. Sci. 2020, 10, 106 2 of 17 in the supply chain reliability by synchronizing each element internally and externally, forecasting the demand and managing inventories and assets efficiently.To minimize response times and to assure the required flexibility avoided wastes, the lean philosophy can be extended to supply chain management in military organizations. For example, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) has been working intensively together with service providers and supporting contractors to introduce and apply lean principles into their organizations to optimize internal lead times [7]. The origin of lean philosophy is generally attributed to the practices developed from the TPS or Toyota Production System [8,9], pioneered by Taiichi Ohno [10] and Shigeo Shingo [11]. Their lean principles related to philosophy, processes, people, partners, and problem-solving allow organizations the implementation of lean thinking at different levels. Moreover, TPS has influenced not only manufacturing concepts but also supply chain management ones [12][13][14]. The concept of lean supply is described in [15,16] as an operating attitude that needs to be changed in relation to suppliers so that the effect of associated costs to non-perfect processes will not be limited to the location of the execution. This approach targets long-term customer satisfaction. Thus, supply chain optimization is possible according to the three main TPS goals: best quality, lowest cost, and shortest lead-time, which are achieved by continuous improvement and increasing operations' added value.This work evaluates the use of lean methodologies and their application to military logistics functions, focusing on supply chain management processes for spare parts. We present a case study to improve military material order processing pr...

“…Applications took place in a wide variety of sectors including, but not limited to, automotive, aerospace, education, healthcare, construction, wood products, mining, service and retail sectors [174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183]. For instance, Brown et al, (2014) tested the versatility of Sus-VSM framework for three case studies with different product varieties and product volumes and concluded in favor of sufficient versatility [184].…”

“…Reliability and validity of the proposed framework was checked trough survey-based data collection. In another study, Kasava et al, (2015) applied one of the most inclusive frameworks, for which a foundational ground was established by Mohd Yusof et al in 2013 and was deployed in aircraft maintenance operations [175,305]. The sustainable domain value stream mapping (SdVSM) framework employed KPIs of the Sustainable Manufacturing Repository (SMIR) of NIST and was successful at measuring and benchmarking sustainability performance of maintenance operations through the help of VSM.…”

Global trends and factors, such as the increased level of globalization, climate change, resource scarcity, and awareness of social and environmental responsibilities, as well as fiercer competition and lower profit margins in all industries, force organizations to act to retain, regain, or sustain their competitive advantages for long-term survival. These trends and factors are historically known to bring about innovations that drive the evolution of industries. Sustainability is considered to be such an innovation to achieve fiscally sound, environmentally conscious, and socially progressive organizations and supply chains. This study reviewed 477 past articles published in five major databases from 1990 to 2018. The purpose of the study was to assess the current state-of-the art in the subject of lean-driven sustainability. Based on the exhaustive descriptive and contextual analysis, synergies, divergences, and the extent of two-way permeability of lean and sustainability concepts from the perspective of intra-and inter-organizational operations were identified along with future research opportunities. Fundamental strengths and weaknesses of both concepts, existing strong synergies and untapped potential, along with their key contributors, the potential-use cases of lean tools to derive sustainable solutions are highlighted in this review.
