A case study research method is used in a Norwegian shipbuilding project by implementing a value stream mapping lean tool with total cycle time as a unit of analysis. The analysis resulted in demonstrating the time deviations for the planned tasks in one of the processes in the shipbuilding project. So, authors developed a future state map by removing time wastes from value stream process. }, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {14}, number = {12}, year = {2020}, pages = {624 - 629}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011687}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/168}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 168, 2020}, }
