principle of lean engineering

i need report from 2000words to 2100 about As part of a continuous improvement program, the audit team of an organization manufacturing plastic containers of two different colors using a universal metal cap presents its process audit in the form of a Value Stream Map (current state) to the Senior Management team, as shown in Figure 1. The plastic containers are blow-molded, while the metal cap is made using a process called deep drawing. The manufacturing of this product can be improved. As a lean practitioner who recently joined the Change team of this organization, you have been tasked to review this Value Stream Map and identify areas of improvement. For this assignment, you need to write a report that must include the following:

• Analyse the process shown in Figure 1 by identifying process wastes and classifying these;
• Discuss the potential impact of all identified wastes on the organization;
• Develop recommendations by identifying and discussing opportunities for appropriate Lean techniques to be applied and how these wastes can be reduced or eliminated to increase value;
• Discuss what the Senior Management team needs to provide to create an environment conducive to the implementation of Lean to support the organizations continuous improvement program.

Your report should give similar emphasis to each of these elements, which must be presented in four separate sections.

As many of the Senior Management team have a strong academic background in production and operations management, it is vitally important that you support your arguments with appropriately referenced practitioner and educational literature.

The report must clearly show significant evidence of you having researched the subject and must be fully and correctly referenced. It is not sufficient to simply use sources from the internet without careful quality control. Where applicable, you need to make use of academic papers, journal publications, textbooks, the Universitys e-library, etc. Other details, if required, should be included in the appendix. It is very strongly recommended that you follow the links for Study Skills & Support on Moodle and carefully look at the sections on Academic Writing, Referencing, etc. it must get high marks these are rule to get high marks: to achieve high marks in this assessment, addressing each section of the report comprehensively and aligning your work with the marking criteria provided are important. Here’s how you can excel in each part:

Technical content conformity with assignment, depth, and facts (max 40%)

• Key to Success:
• Demonstrates a clear understanding of Lean principles and Value Stream Mapping.
• Accurately identifies process wastes and classifies them correctly.
• Evaluates the impact of each waste type with relevant reasoning.
• Uses appropriate Lean tools and methodologies to assess the process.

Critical discussion argument is developed, logical, and sustained (max 40%)

• Key to Success:
• Develop a logical and well-structured argument.
• Provides a critical discussion of Lean techniques and their suitability for the identified wastes.
• Justifies recommendations with appropriate reasoning and practical applications.
• Engages with academic and practitioner literature to support arguments.

General presentation clarity of writing, spelling, grammar, referencing etc. (max 20%)

• Key to Success:
• Report is well-structured, with clear sections corresponding to assignment requirements.
• Writing is clear, professional, and free from grammatical/spelling errors.
• Consistent and correct use of academic referencing (Harvard).
• Proper use of figures, tables, and appendices to enhance clarity and presentation.

no AI i want appendix , calculations assuming value no issue , tables, figures , charts, graph all with citation even if in abstract i need citation use books, articles, journal, academic paper , i want all what to use in reference in case viva with teacher . i attached summary about my materials that i study during my class
