Project work is being carried out at XYZ organization in Bangalore. Lean manufacturing is a production practice that considers expenditure of resources for any goal other than creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful and thus a target for elimination. Lead time is calculated by adding value added time and non-value added time. Delivery valve is a non-return valve between the high pressure for the fuel injection system and pump plunger. On observing the present system of delivery valve production the current lead time was calculated and was found to be 14.60 days. The lean tools that are applied in this project are First-In-First-Out (FIFO), a method for organizing the component buffer where the oldest entry or bottom of the stack is processed first which eliminates inventory which in turn reduces the lead time and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to map the pre
