Value Stream Mapping is one part of the continuous improvement technique called Lean. Identifying the different parts of the value stream is usually one of the first steps in the Lean process. The value stream map can help your organization get a broader sense of your business and how it works, and it helps managers make improvements to the business process with clarity and efficiency. There are many benefits to Value Stream Mapping, and once the mapping process has started, it can continue to benefit the business for many years through the repetitive use

Value Streams
•Products are made up of many different component parts,
each having identifiable sequences of operations.
We call these the Value Streams.
•To improve product value we must improve the processes used
to produce those products.
That improvement is achieved by designing and developing Lean
Value Streams with Six Sigma Quality.

Value Stream Mapping Definitions (cont.)
Information Flow – the sequence of activities involved in translating customer orders into
production & delivery schedules.
Value Stream Map – a one page drawing of the information and material flow activities for a
single process family.
Current State Map – a map that describes the current “as-is” value stream.
Future State Map – a map that describes the future “to-be” value stream.
Icons – the symbols used as shorthand to draw the maps.

A value timeline is one of the most important features of a Value stream
map.
It helps identify value blockages
It gives an indication of cash flow issues.

Value Stream Process
Step 2 - Gather Data (Develop Current State)
• Observe and gather data
• Walk the value stream - see the actual work place
• Follow and make notes about “item” and information flow
• Gather data for each step in the flow
• Trigger/done actual lead time output
• Actual cycle time on time delivery staffing
• Defect rate batch sizes overtime
• Quality variations work in process
• Map the flow of items
• Map the flow of information
• Add data and issues

Summary
•Value stream maps are utilized to assess process efficiency.
•They contain both information flow and material flow
•Current state maps indicate the as is status
•Future state maps are visions for future and prevent sub optimization
•Projects are taken to move from current to future state.
