• The challenge: 3 plants into a new one
• How to better manage capacity and gain productivity in the face of increased complexity?
• Value Stream Mapping has helped us to identify restrictions, bottlenecks and all other factors that limit effectiveness and efficiency throughout the complete manufacturing

The challenge
Consolidation of oral solids blister packaging operations from 3
plants into a new packaging center
Build up a center of
excellence for blister
packaging in the group
Threats:
Increased throughput time due to no direct connection
between bulk manufacturing plants and Packaging Center
Starvation of packaging lines due to increased lead time of
bulk supply and capacity restrictions of bulk manufacturing
Reduction of “flexibility” and back up sites
Opportunities:
Facilitate late stage packaging given the high number of
SKU’s for a same molecule (thus improvement of finished
good inventory, and, consequently, service level)
Enhancement of Demand Planning & Plan adherence
Creation of a new way of working in order to increase and
sustain long term productivity of packaging assets

Simulations have to be done whenever a new
Forecast is released
Back up lines to be pre-defined in order to avoid
occurrence of “last minute allocations” and
creation of chaos in long run
List of products and number of batches in
Supermarket have to be updated as per
fluctuations in demand
Simulations are only valid with a sound data basis
Consistency of the plan has to be validated in real

Final Thoughts
What we have learned when drawing the Value Stream Maps
Like many other lean tools, doing value stream mapping for the
sake of doing the map wouldn’t help us much
It is fundamental to have a clear understanding of the goal of the
mapping; in our case, we had a problem that we wanted to fix
A simplified version of VSM worked out quite good, because we
wanted only to comprehend the main road blockers to our
allocation strategy, and interfaces between plants and systems
Be careful not to turn your VSM into a wasteful theoretical exercise,
especially when one picture is not enough to capture the process:
• When product mix changes frequently
• When there is high variability in processing times
• When route selection varies
• Equipment is shared by more than one product family
Our downstream processes are still not reliable enough and
packaging centre had to be decoupled from the continuous flow
Basic Improvement Framework: Look at capacity first
We are now substituting capacity for inventory buffers, aiming to
reduce variability. Hopefully, we will be capable of reducing
capacity buffers in the future
Select a cross-functional team, whose members are familiar with
the process
