Value Stream Mapping
Value stream mapping (VSM) creates a visual representation of all product and information flows from raw material receiving to shipping finished product. By including all value added and non-value added (waste) activities in the value stream needed to produce the product, improvement opportunities are identified along with the logical sequence of implementing them. Then a future-state map is drawn to create the blueprint for Lean transformation. Applying VSM to a high-priority pilot process allows companies to demonstrate results that will assure continued interest in applying Lean concepts.  Approved course for Lean Practitioner L2 Certificate.
