Value Stream Mapping Recap

Value stream mapping is a tool used to identify and eliminate waste by categorizing activities as value added or non-value added from the customer's perspective. The process involves creating a current state diagram, prioritizing non-value added activities for reduction, constructing a future state diagram, and developing a transformation roadmap for implementation. This method can enhance both overall manufacturing processes and specific individual processes.

Use value stream mapping as a tool to eliminate waste.

The To conduct value stream mapping you must separate activities into value added or non-
value added activities from the customer’s perspective.

The first step in conducting value stream mapping is to construct a current state diagram,
which shows the steps in the process and whether each is value added or non-value added.
From there, you can decide which non-value added steps you will prioritize for reducing the
time spent on those activities.

Once you have proposals for reducing waste in the process, the second step in conducting
value stream mapping is to construct a future state diagram.

To learn more about ways of eliminating waste, see the ‘Lean Manufacturing 1: Eliminating
Waste’ eLearning course.
The final step is to create a transformation roadmap, which is a plan for how you will
implement the improvements you have identified.

Value stream mapping can be used to improve both high level manufacturing processes and
individual processes.
