Abstract: Present research paper is based on the improvements in productivity using value stream mapping (VSM) and fuzzy QFD techniques in two mechanical industries. For this purpose, first of all process related parameters were investigated for the firms, which was followed by the constructions of value stream maps as well as house of quality for the purpose of improvements in productivity.

Keywords: Productivity, Value stream mapping (VSM), Fuzzy quality function deployment (FQFD), paper.
