Course Summary
What is Value Stream Mapping?
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a great tool to help define if a business is meeting customer demand. It aligns with Strategy Deployment as a method for highlighting key area that need improving. VSM allows a team to get a 30,000 feet view of a business process. It is easier from this perspective to identify and prioritize what needs to be improved to meet the customers needs on-time, every-time.
Advantages of Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping can be completed without interference in the physical work area. The activities only require a team to observe the activities and document them. The design and development of the Value Stream Map is completed on a whiteboard or paper back in the team's meeting room. This is what makes Value Stream Mapping a powerful tool to have in any lean transformation toolbox.
Value Stream Mapping Steps
There are four steps to a Value Stream Mapping exercise:
1. Data collection
2. Draw a current state map
3. Draw a future state map
4. Develop an implementation plan
