| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this research is to identify the means of delay in industrial projects. In today’s global and highly competitive environment, to be stable in a global market, it is critical to preserve and grow for any firm need to be price competitive, time and quality, proactive and reactive and has to deliver a world rank new/better product to fulfill customer requirements. Nowadays to compute global market SINTEC Ethiopia Plc. has been struggling and suffering from a lot of challenges including delay of industrial projects. The major problems contributing for the delay of industrial projects are waiting for the missing parts and procurement of consumables & Argon gas. The main objectives of this study is to identify means of reducing the delay of projects in SINTEC Ethiopia industrial projects by value stream mapping Lean production reveals to meet the needs of the market demand by implementing Lean tools of value stream mapping to stable in the global market by eliminating wastes. In order to show where the focus area of the delay of industrial projects for SINTEC Ethiopia is used a value stream mapping tool. This study adopted a case study approach. For this study, the research methodology requires gathering relevant primary and secondary data. Primary data was conducted using interviews and observation to provide qualitative insights and company visits. Secondary data collected from recent literature and company records in order to examine the waste level. The collected data have been summarized using descriptive analysis method and analyzed by a statistical tool called bar chart. Moreover, value stream mapping was used to determine the strong point of incorporation of time, cost, quality and flexibility with the involvement of supplier and customer for the reduction of delay of projects. Based on the identified main aspects and the collected data, the level of wastes in SINTEC Ethiopia Plc. was assessed and problems were identified. Finally the study came up with the following findings: the incorporation of time, cost, quality and flexibility with the involvement of supplier and customer are strongly related with the means of reducing delay of projects. Furthermore, at the end of the study a constructive model is developed which gives a solution regarding to the problem mentioned for SINTEC Ethiopia industrial projects. | en_US |
