Value Stream Mapping is a Lean technique used to analyse the flow of materials and information currently required to bring a product or service to a consumer. Value Stream Mapping is commonly used in Lean environments to identify opportunities for improvement in lead time. 1. Identify the target product, product family, or service. 2. Draw a current state value stream map, which shows the current steps, delays, and information flows required to deliver the target product or service. This may be a production flow (raw materials to consumer) or a design flow (concept to launch). There are 'standard' symbols for representing supply chain entities. 3. Assess the current state value stream map in terms of creating flow by eliminating waste. 4. Draw a future state value stream map. 5. Implement the future state.
