Value Stream Mapping

- Value stream mapping VSM is a mapping method that enables an organization to “see” all the actions involved in producing a product or service

- Current State Map: Visual representation of existing operations (information and product flows) 

• Identify the largest sources of waste (non-value added activity) in the value stream

- Future State Map: Drawing of Lean flow (vision)

• Develop implementation plan for Lean activities

Defining A Value Stream

• A series of steps that must be performed in the proper sequence to create value for a customer
• The complete value stream includes information flow and product or material flow
• The value stream includes all steps; value-added and non value-added

Why Value Stream Map?

• Helps you visualize more than just the process level
• Allows you to see the sources of waste
• Define key leverage points for improvements
• Displays linkage between information and material flow

Admin processes may show linkage between information flow and the actions that result from the information flow
