Value Stream Mapping
Starting dates and places
Description
Value Stream Mapping is a powerful visualisation tool for mapping the complete manufacturing process from door-to-door, including both material and information flow. By drawing and analysing the 'current state map', improvement activities can be focused in those areas which will result in the greatest benefits to process flow.
In addition to prioritising incremental improvements, Value Stream Mapping can be used as a strategic Continuous Improvement tool, by creating an ambitious future state based on Lean Manufacturing principles. This future state map forms the basis of a long-term improvement plan, which can be deployed within an organisation and its supply chain.
