Improving Productivity by Deriving and Defining Target Conditions in the Value Stream of Packing

Summary In the entire value stream of original spare part supply, packing is one of the main issues in the distribution system and its productivity is mainly affected by a particularly high proportion of manual work. This paper presents an approach to support practical work improvements in value streams generally, and from the theoretical and the practical point of view it shows how performance enhancing and learning enhancing target conditions or standards – e.g. for the working method – can be derived and defined from the ideal state and its characteristics in order to increase productivity. The implementation of a target condition is carried out by continuous and discontinuous improvements to the value stream of packing original spare parts.
