Abstract

Value is known as the price which the customer is ready to pay for and the value is defined by the ultimate customer. Eliminating the waste is important for reduction of costs and meeting the demands of customers in short delivery times. Process Cycle Efficiency(PCE) is defined as the measurement of the amount of value-added time in a process. In this study, the PCE of men trousers assembly line was tried to be increased. To achieve this aim, the value stream map of the line was examined. Overall equipment efficiency (OEE) values of the operations were calculated and the operations with OEE values under 90% were selected and improvement activities were defined. At the end of these activities, total process lead time and work in process(WIP) stocks decreased and PCE increased from 0,9% to 1,5%.
