ABSTRACT
Value stream mapping is an effective tool of Lean manufacturing to reduce wastage in any process by segregating value-added and non–value-added activities. The present work uses the concept of value stream mapping and developed energy value stream mapping to address the nonproductive energy-consuming processes. This paper focuses on achieving Green manufacturing as overall productivity, which has already reached an acceptable value. The main problem identified is that there is a void for a tool to achieve Lean manufacturing along with Green manufacturing. It deals with the development of a method that allows for a quick, easy, and comprehensive analysis of energy and material flows within production processes. The paper concludes by discussing improvements in the processes.
