Value stream mapping is a visualization tool that helps to visualize, understand and streamline work processes using the tools and techniques of lean manufacturing.
Value stream mapping and other mapping techniques put a spotlight on waste, streamline work processes, promote deep understanding and build consensus for improvement. Most business organizations are enormously complex. Only visuals convey enough information to understand the pieces, relationships, hidden waste and time-domain behavior. Mapping for visualization promotes a deep understanding and brings major breakthroughs in productivity and performance. It leads to consensus on systemic problems and remedies. While finished maps communicate information about a situation, the real value is the mapping itself. This is where insights grow, paradigms shift and consensus builds. Learning Objectives: •You will be able to describe value and waste. •You will be able to discuss how to map the present state. •You will be able to review implementation planning. •You will be able to identify the limits of mapping.
