Value Stream Mapping
Use VSM’s to Identify High Impact Improvement Opportunities in Your Business
Value Stream Mapping is a Lean implementation event that involves creating a Value Stream Map (VSM) which is a tool that delineates and analyzes the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a customer.
A VSM provides a way to visually see the entire enterprise in order to quickly identify wastes and performance bottlenecks
The methodology systematically takes your company from its current state of operations to a dramatically improved future state. Learn to—
- Draw a current state VSM that shows delay and wastes in information and shop floor flows
- Draw a future state map that shows the desired flows
- Create a continual improvement plan to prioritize actions that lead towards the newly established future state map
