I. INTRODUCTION
The world is changing quickly, consumer expectations are
high, and companies must be quick to adapt if they are to
survive and thrive. Organizations need proven concepts for
reducing lead time and the tools to do so if they are to remain
competitive. Lean development is one such tool. Reductions in
manufacturing lead time can generate numerous benefits,
including lower work-in-process and finished goods inventory
levels, improved quality, lower costs, and less forecasting
error. More importantly, reductions in manufacturing lead
time increase flexibility and reduce the time required to
respond to customer orders. This can be vital to the survival
and profitability of numerous firms, especially those
experiencing increased market pressures for shorter delivery
lead times of customized product.

III. METHODOLOGY
The steps followed in the research are given below:
Step 1: Theoretical construction of the thesis:
Step 2: Preparation of questionnaires and database sheet based
on primary observation:

Number of shift= 2.
So the available time = (455*2*60) sec = 54600sec
In the bellow table we have presented all uptime we have
calculated. We used these data in our current state VSM.
Table 3: Summarized uptime for woven product processes
D. Uptime Calculation
The formula of uptime is given below:
Uptime= (Available time-Total Changeover time per day)/
Available time
The available time for the company where we conducted our
research is calculated below:
One 9 Hour shift= 60 min /hr*9 hrs= 540 min/shift
Machine set up Time=15 min/shift
MDI Meeting= 10 min/shift
Lunch and Prayer Time= 30 min/shift
Tea Break= 30 min/shift
Net Operating Time= 540-15-10-30-30= 455 min/shift

VI. CONCLUSION
Our main objective was to find the non-value added time
and cut those as much as possible. For this purpose we have
tried to reduce the WIP by convert the push system to pull
system. We also tried to improve the process to reduce the
change over time.
VII. FUTURE WORKS
Because of many limitations, it was not possible to see the
total effect of the improvement strategies presented in this
study. Hence the recommendations of future works on lead
time reduction are given bellow:
