Values Stream Map

Values Stream Map. Value-stream mapping usually employs standard symbols to represent items and processes, therefore knowledge of these symbols is essential to correctly interpret the production system problems. Focus on a critical area with inefficiencies or waste

Keeping the map up to date ensures its accuracy and relevance for driving continuous. Clearly outline the start and end points of the process

It is recommended to review and update the map whenever there are significant changes in the workflow, processes, or improvement initiatives Tips • Keep it high level • Remember this is a value stream map NOT a process map! • Use approximately 8 process steps • Focus on the high volume work i.e Focus on a critical area with inefficiencies or waste

Value stream mapping for non manufacturing environments. The process steps are in the second, with process data boxes (metrics) immediately below each step The first step in VSM is identifying the process or value stream to be mapped

. Changeover Time: This is the amount of time it takes for a machine to be reconfigured, rebooted, and cleaned, then have any necessary parts changed before starting a new part of the production process.This will be in the process box with the other process metrics. Then, create a future state Value Stream Map and/or ideal state Value Stream Map
