Value Stream Mapping- Literature Review and Implementation in Construction Manufacturing Industry

In the recent days, value stream mapping is considered as one of the main tools in the lean construction. In which it identifies and reduces the errors, losses, waiting time, and improves the values adding time, leading to enhanced product quality through empowering production unit in terms of production risk and cost reduction in the long term. The low productivity in the construction projects is the long-term issues. One of the ways to increase the productivity is to reduce the Non-Value-Activities in the construction project. This research work illustrates the literature review on the value stream mapping application in various field of construction. In this the paper gives the comparative study on material with the current state and future state map by using value stream mapping through referring locally available construction project to reduce the NVAA in the construction project.
