What is Value Stream Mapping?
Value stream mapping is a technique used to sequence all the process tasks required to transform a product from raw material to a complete, deliverable customer item
View Lean resourcesIt highlights where value is added and areas where no value (waste) occurs and can be used as a method to identify any inefficiencies in the process that need addressing.
A value stream map itself is a sequence of activities to produce an end product or deliver a service.
By understanding these steps it is then easier to understand how improvements to the system might be made by streamlining or removing certain steps. A value stream map which has been improved but not implemented is known as a future state map.
