Step 2: Identify Losses
Basically, losses are identified from abnormality. In this project, we choose to focus on
total loss of time. This is the problem that we observed in the line. Other losses are not
visible. This is because the company is project type based. So, times are most
significant due to on time delivery mission. In order to identify the time losses, time of
each step in process mapping of production processes are categorize to Value Added (VA) and Non Value Added (NVA). A brainstorming session was held with industrial
supervisor to classify it. Table 1 shows the value added and non value added time of
each process.
