Identifying 40%+ Non-Value-Added Work Through Value Stream Mapping

Mexef Quality Source partnered with one of India’s leading gear manufacturing companies in Gujarat to conduct an enterprise-wide Value Stream Mapping (VSM) initiative focused on identifying process inefficiencies, reducing waste, and improving operational flow across departments.

Through a structured Operational Excellence (OPEX) approach, cross-functional teams mapped current-state workflows, analyzed lead-time losses, and identified 40%+ Non-Value-Added (NVA) activities affecting productivity, cost, and customer delivery performance. The initiative created a strong foundation for process simplification, flow improvement, and data-driven operational decision-making.
