- 1. Value Stream Mapping(VSM) An Overview of VSM and Its Applications
- 2. What is ValueStream Mapping (VSM)? • • VSM is a lean-management method for analyzing the current state and designing a future state for the series of events that take a product or service from its beginning through to the customer. • • It helps identify waste, reduce process cycle times, and implement process improvement.
- 3. Key Elements ofVSM • • Customer Requirements • • Process Steps • • Information Flow • • Material Flow • • Timeline and Lead Time Analysis
- 4. Common VSM Symbols •• Process Box • • Inventory Triangle • • Data Box • • Information Arrow • • Push and Pull Arrows
- 5. Steps to Createa VSM • 1. Identify the product or process to map • 2. Define the boundaries (start and end points) • 3. Map the current state • 4. Analyze and identify waste • 5. Design the future state map • 6. Implement improvements
- 6. Benefits of VSM •• Visualizes the entire process flow • • Identifies non-value-adding activities • • Improves communication and collaboration • • Enhances process efficiency and productivity • • Supports continuous improvement initiatives
