WHAT IS VALUE STREAM MAPPING?
Value Stream Mapping enables a company to identify and eliminate waste, thereby streamlining work processes, cutting lead times, reducing costs and increasing quality. It is a tool commonly used in lean continuous improvement programs to help understand and improve the material and information flow within organizations. Value Stream Mapping borne out of lean ideology captures and presents the whole process from end to end in a method that is easy to understand by those working the process - it captures the current issues and presents a realistic picture
Through Value Stream Mapping, a team of employees can map the current state; beginning from customer back to raw material including all the steps, both value-added and non-value-added, and develop a future state vision to act as a blueprint for Lean activities. The Future State often represents a significant change compared to the way the company currently operates. The VSM team will develop an implementation strategy to make the Future State a reality. The most urgent needs will be addressed first, and can typically be accomplished in a very short time frame with the appropriate resources applied.
