Purpose: This research aims to try to application the two cards (kanban) system and the value stream map in the electrical cables factory in the Ur Company for Electrical Industries, with the intention of rationalizing the storage costs and improving the production, marketing and warehouse process to get rid of waste, and loss in time and cost.
Theoretical framework: This research problem emerged due to the lack of The factory application of these systems that work to solve the problem of storage accumulation as well as improving the progress of the production process, and the research hypothesis has proven that it is possible to apply the Kanban system and the value stream map in the plant under discussion.
Design/methodology/approach: The research showed the most important conclusions, including stock accumulation of various types, reduction of inventory, improvement of work flow, improvement in response to changes in customer requests, reduction of risk of obsolescence of inventory, reduction of the percentage of spoilage from (3%) to (2%), and rationalization of total production inventory from 858 tons [26 tons × 31 days] to 806 tons [ 26 tons x 33 days].
Findings: application the two cards (kanban) system and the value stream map in the electrical cables factory in the Ur Company for Electrical Industries The improvement in the current status of the Value Stream map, to the future status was carried out according to the Kaizen Burst (continuous improvements). As for the most important recommendations, Research, Practical & Social implications: The improvement in the current status of the Value Stream map, to the future status was carried out according to the Kaizen Burst (continuous improvements).
Originality/value: This study is one of the very few studies that focus on the concept of cards (kanban) system and the value stream map it was necessary to implement the Kanban and value map system in the Cables electric plant, activating the state of transparency in the production and marketing work and facilitating the work The administrator and the need to open communication channels between the administration and workers to take advantage of the proposed views, reconsider the incentive system and link it to performance and to encourage workers to excel and drive innovation and creativity.
