The primary objective of this study is to understanding the distinction between value adding and nonvalue adding activities and then focus on improving the productivity level of some of the most problematic work areas with minimized non-value adding activities. By eliminating several non-value added activities at different stages of assembly line, quality and productivity is increased. Also the standard operating procedure in stages is suggested. The company is currently facing with the problem of increased lead time and high change over time. In order to solve the problem, selected Kaizen as a main process improvement tool. This implementation is focuses on reducing the change over time between one batch to another by mean of which the productivity of organization will be improved. This also includes adopting appropriate techniques to minimise the Cost of poor quality because of defects in raw material and reworks in assembled vehicle.
