This study entailed gathering view from management level employees of the engineering operating division's local businesses on sustainability of current high speed Mark Five Variant (MK V) bogie manufacturing processes. The views were validated through a cross-sectional guide case study using a sustainable value stream map, a visualization and analytical measuring tool, to assess sustainability of the MK V bogie assembly process. The assessment was based on a Lean-Six sigma methodology of defining, measuring, analysing, improving, and controlling (DMAIC), to provide a current state process map (PM) and sustainable value stream map ( Sus-VSM)
