With the following information below construct a future state value stream map after waste has been eliminated.

 

 

 

 Current State Value Stream Map (VSM) The current state VSM for the Import Parts Receiving and Distribution Process at Kia Motors includes several key stages: Receiving: Imported parts arrive at the facility. Workers unload and inspect them for quality and accuracy. VA Time: 30 minutes NVA Time: 15 minutes (waiting for handling equipment) Storage: Once inspected, parts are transported to the storage area. Parts are sorted by item and urgency. VA Time: 20 minutes NVA Time: 10 minutes (excess movement due to poor layout) Distribution: Parts are retrieved from storage and delivered to the production line as needed. VA Time: 15 minutes NVA Time: 25 minutes (delays due to miscommunication about parts needed on the line) Visualization of the VSM The Value Stream Map would include symbols to represent each process step, arrows to show flow, and a timeline at the bottom to differentiate between value-added (VA) and non-value-added (NVA) time. Two specific areas where waste is evident are: Excess waiting time during the Receiving phase: Waiting for handling equipment increases the cycle time unnecessarily, suggesting a need for better scheduling or additional resources. Excess movement in the Storage phase: The inefficient layout of the storage area leads to wasted time and effort, indicating potential improvements in facility layout design. Conclusion
