What Are Value Streams?
A Value Stream is the set of all actions (both value added
and non value added) required to bring a specific product
or service from raw material through to the customer.
- 5. 5

Types of Value Streams
•“Whenever there is a product (or service) for a customer,
• there is a value stream. The challenge lies in seeing it.”
• 3 enterprise value streams:
• Raw Materials to Customer - Manufacturing
• Concept to Launch - Engineering
• Order to Cash - Administrative Functions

History of Value Streams - Toyota
Toyota is one of the most efficient manufacturers in the
world
Building 2 million cars a year outside Japan
Aiming to become No 1 globally by 2010!
Not because of brilliant products – but because of a
brilliant production system
Called Lean Production or Lean Thinking
- 7. 7

History of Value Streams - Toyota
Toyota has probably the most efficient supply base in the
world
300 1st tier suppliers - 2-3 per part
Co-located and tightly synchronized by 2-4 hourly milk
rounds from Toyota
Conducting joint process analysis together for 30 years
As a result each supplier delivers each part 99.9995%
right first time on time!

History of Value Streams - Toyota
Toyota has been building cars to order in Japan for 30
years
Based on a continuing relationship with many of its
customers through door-to-door selling!
Which it also uses to smooth orders on production
Yes – buffered by long lead-time export orders

History of Value Streams - Toyota
Toyota probably has one of the most efficient distribution systems
– for service parts
Dealers pre-diagnose and pre-order parts they need – they do not
stock them!
Local Distribution Centers deliver 2-3 times a day
Regional Distribution Centers deliver daily
Most of their parts suppliers can make and ship all the parts
required in a day by the next day
The system copes with 400,000 part numbers and is being rolled
out across the globe

History of Value Streams - Toyota
Toyota’s success is based on a different business logic: -
Organized to manage the whole value stream for each product
family – rather than to manage and optimize each asset and
firm in isolation
Pulling the right products through the system quickly as
required by the customer – rather than making to forecast and
selling from stock to strangers
Based on operational capability and joint process analysis -
rather than relying on supplier auctions and big centralized
information systems
- 11. 11

Identifying the Value Stream
The starting point is to learn to distinguish value creation
from waste in your whole value stream
By putting on waste glasses!
By choosing a product family
By assembling the team and taking a walk together up the
value stream
And drawing a map of what you find!

Value Stream Mapping
• Follow a “product” or “service” from beginning to end,
and draw a visual representation of every process in the
material & information flow.
• Then, draw (using icons) a “future state” map of how
value should flow.

The Current State
Completed in a day
Performed by a cross functional team responsible for
implementing new ideas
Resulting in a picture (and team observations) of what
we “see” when following the product
- 23. 23
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
Typical Steps to Complete a Current State Drawing
Document customer information
Complete a quick walk through to identify the main
processes (i.e., how many process boxes)
Fill in data boxes, draw inventory triangles, and count
inventory
Document supplier information
Establish information flow: how does each process know
what to make next?
Identify where material is being pushed
Quantify production lead time vs. processing time
- 24. 24
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
What product family will you map?
Hint: Define the product family from the most
downstream point on your map
Simple definition of a product family: A group of product
variants passing through similar processing steps using
common equipment just prior to shipment to the
customer
Some examples: Medium sized electric drills or a family
of drill motors; a car platform or an alternator family; an
airframe or a product family of major subassemblies
(e.g., tails)
Note that the concept is fractal: A product family is
composed of many components which can also be
product families – it all depends on where you start!
- 25. 25
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
Which part of the product will you follow upstream?
Hint: Most novice mappers want to follow every part in
the product. But you actually learn much more by
following only one part on your first map!
Remember: The first objective of mapping is to raise
consciousness of waste. (You may well want to follow
other parts later.)
- 26. 26
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
Who will be the members of your mapping team and the
team leader?
The team ideally includes representatives of every firm
and every relevant function – operations, PC&L,
purchasing, sales, finance, engineering.
The logical leader is from the lean team or supplier
development group in the most down-stream firm.
Because the assets employed are owned by several
firms, the leader may feel responsible but will have little
authority and therefore must…lead!
- 27. 27
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
How many facilities up the value stream will you include?
The ideal map goes from raw materials to customer.
This will generally be too hard as you get started.
- 28. 28
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
How many individual actions (steps) on the product are
there, what is the total throughput time, and what is the
throughput distance?
Example: There are 73 steps, total throughput time is 44
days, and throughput distance is 5300 miles.
Critical question: How do we know whether a step and its
attendant time create value?
Put yourself in the position of the customer and ask if you
would pay less for the product or be less satisfied if a given
step and its necessary time were left out.
Example: 8 of the steps and 55 minutes of throughput time
create value!
- 29. 29
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
What is the capability of each production facility (quality x
delivery) and its responsiveness (EPE?)
Where are the delays in information flow, how lengthy are
they, and how much are orders amplified as they move
upstream?
Hint: Include the right information in the map. Distinguish
between forecasts & capacity plans and actual production
releases.
- 30. 30
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
Where and how large are the inventories in the physical
flow?
Hint: Carefully distinguish buffer stocks, safety stocks, and
shipping stocks. Then determine “standard inventory” for
current system design and capabilities.
- 31. 31
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Current State
How reliable is each transport link (on-time delivery
percentage) and how many expediting trips per year are
needed?
Note: By multiplying quality data from by on-time delivery
data you can calculate the “fulfillment level” each facility as
perceived by the next downstream customer. This is a key
measure from a total value stream perspective.

The Current State
Typical Results
80 – 90% of total steps are waste from standpoint of
end customer.
99.9% of throughput time is wasted time.
Demand becomes more and more erratic as it moves
upstream, imposing major inventory, capacity, and
management costs at every level.
Quality becomes worse and worse as we move upstream,
imposing major costs downstream.
Most managers and many production associates expend
the majority of their efforts on hand-offs, work-arounds,
and logistical complexity.
- 35. 35

The Future State
Completed in a day with the same team
Focused on:
Creating a flexible, reactive system that quickly adapts to
changing customer needs
Eliminating waste
Creating flow
Producing on demand
- 36. 36
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
Activities aligned with our business strategy
Efforts focused on NET improvements for the company
Metrics supportive of fundamental change
Simple, constant communication of our plans and
achievements as an enterprise
- 38. 38
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
Where can you introduce flow and pull within each facility?
When we leave out wasted steps, create continuous flow,
and introduce pull in every plant the product passes through
we can achieve a striking reduction in steps and throughput
time. But note that demand amplification is not affected.
- 39. 39
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
How can you introduce smooth and level pull between
facilities while reducing shipment quantities and increasing
shipment frequencies?
What is the rate of consumption by the end customer (and
what is takt time?) and how can the rate of demand be
communicated to all value stream partners?
Where is the pacemaker process for the entire value stream
and how is it scheduled (build to order?, build to stock?,
build to ship?)
Critical issue: How to untangle simple demand loops from
facility to facility from high level MRP/ERP systems suited
for capacity planning.
- 40. 40
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
What is the production rhythm (takt time) for each
production facility needed to meet demand?
How can orders be passed upstream more frequently with
minimum delays?
Where and how will you level the mix and volume at each
facility?
Where can you you introduce transport milk rounds?
Additional issue: Who should organize these loops –
suppliers or customers?
What warehousing steps can you leave out completely?
- 41. 41
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
Where do you have freed up production space?
What activities could you move over to the customer?
What steps and transport links can you leave out by
compressing the value stream?
What are the costs and benefits to each value stream
partner of compressing the value stream and how will these
costs and benefits be shared?
This is a hard question!
- 42. 42
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
What type of “right-sized’ tools could further speed flow in
co-located processes?
How can you replicate and relocate integrated production
activities close to each major customer?
What are the costs and benefits for each value stream
partner of pioneering right-sized technologies and relocating
activities, and how will these be shared?
This is the hardest question!
- 43. 43
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
The Future State
Almost all value streams today pass through many
information processing points and facilities, owned by many
firms.
Creating future states within the walls and information
systems of a single facility is difficult… but doable with a
small team.
Creating future states across many facilities and firms
requires new methods going beyond traditional business
practices.
- 44. 44
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Administrative Mapping
Administrative activities are often a major percentage of the
total throughput time
Goal: 400% improvement in productivity over 10 years
Modest opportunities on the plant floor; Untapped
opportunities off the plant floor
- 45. 45
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Administrative Mapping: Integrated
Include functions such as engineering, purchasing, and
order entry for product families which have routine
activities prior to scheduling
Place the process boxes between the customer and the
scheduling function
Minimize the data collection to the basics of cycle time
or quality, and document the impact on leadtime
- 46. 46
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Administrative Mapping: Separate Maps
Better for redesigning overhead and administrative
support areas touching value streams
Order processing
Warranty activities
Job quotes
Not useful for activities outside a value stream
Data boxes must have attributes focusing on cost,
quality, and service
“Inventory” is typically paperwork
Information flow is typically informal
- 47. 47
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Many shops have a combination of repetitive and non-
repetitive products (indicating product families)
Product families might be difficult to see – focus on
machines/operations and work content time
Engineering might be included in the information flow for
lead time impact, etc.
Pitch is typically arbitrary to the manager
Employment of pitch requires detailed knowledge of work
content and routings for jobs
Unique Situations
Make to Order and Engineer to Order Shops
- 48. 48
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Unique Situations
Including Subassemblies
Focus on major subassemblies first
Select one or two which might represent different types
of situations
Generic vs. specific to the product family
Outsourced tasks within assembly
Follow the format for parallel flow, and always include
the main assembly process!
For large fabricating and assembly operations, consider
maps for each major subassembly with a “macro map”
indicating the entire product family
- 49. 49
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Unique Situations
Different Changeover & Cycle Times, etc.
Current state mapping might uncover:
Several different machines performing the same
operation
Different products within the family with different data
box characteristics for a specific process
Capture the range of values as opposed to an average
value
- 50. 50
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Unique Situations
Mapping Final Inspection/ Repair/Rework
Judgment counts!
Minimal repair/rework might be captured as a data
attribute at the final step.
If nearly every part needs assessment or extra work,
consider a separate process box.
- 51. 51
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Unique Situations
Pull Within an MRP Environment
A combination push and pull is usually just a push
system!
Multiple production triggers typically lead to
overproduction.
- 52. 52
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Unique Situations
Assemble-to-Order Options in a Future State
Finished goods supermarkets can be expensive in value
streams which have many finished part numbers within
a product family
To minimize inventory costs, try to find the upstream
location where the value stream has very few variations
and consider a supermarket of WIP at that point.
Customers orders can “drop” to this location, with FIFO
lanes controlling production into shipping.
- 53. 53

Enhancing the Future State
Create a new language for a civilized discussion about
optimizing entire value streams to create a “win-win-win”.

Enhancing the Future State
Achieving a responsive Flow through your plant is only possible
when each step is:-
Available when needed with no interruptions (TPM)
Can be changed over quickly enough to make every product
every cycle (SMED)
Is capable of making the required volumes with no errors (6
Sigma)
Is aligned with other steps in the process (right sized tools)
And when orders vary within agreed limits (covering peaks
with co-managed off-line buffers)

Implementing Change
We’ve only recently introduced the idea of “value stream
management” within facilities and companies.
No one currently devotes mind-share to (or has any
authority for) extended value streams.
Purchasing departments typically lack credibility, both
internally and externally, for initiatives beyond traditional
“bargaining”.
Lean improvement groups typically lack a mandate to go
beyond isolated techniques for “supplier development”.
- 68. 68
© 2004 Superfactory™. All Rights Reserved.
Implementing Change
The lead can come from anywhere along the value stream.
The initial need is a collective decision by senior
management in every participating firm to give extended
value stream mapping a try.
The next need is for multi-firm, multi-function value stream
teams to identify and remove obvious waste.
The continuing need is for longer-term collective value
stream analysis moving toward ideal states.
An amazing thought: Is there a role for consultants as
honest-broker advisors to value stream teams?

Implementing Change
Manufacturing recession focuses everyone’s mind.
We have already done experiments with hyper margin
squeezing in 1991-92; everyone knows it leads to lose-

value streams.

Roadblocks
Traditional approaches do not focus on the value stream
Create “perfect competition” at the next level of supply
upstream, by attracting many bidders.
Improve bargaining power through scale economies in
raw materials buys as well.
Turn up the competitive pressure with reverse auctions
where possible.
Demand continuing price reductions in multi-year
contracts whatever happens to volume.
Note the lack of process analysis of the value stream!
“Market will insure lowest costs & highest efficiency!”
