SUMMARY
Value stream mapping gives you the tools to stand back and identify the waste in your business and to streamline processes to get rid of waste. Think of it as your personal magnifying glass and your source for solutions to eliminate that waste. With value stream mapping, you actually scrutinize business processes from beginning to end and draw a visual representation of every process involved in the material and information flows. Then you draw a future state map to show how things should work for your best competitive advantage.

And there’s a lot of waste that can be kicked to the curb. Statistics show that as much as 60% of operations in a manufacturing business do not add value to the customer. The effective application of value stream mapping can:
  • Reduce lead time
  • Improve product quality and space utilization
  • Reduce rework/scrap and inventory levels
  • Reduce indirect labor costs
It’s difficult to imagine you could get all these benefits from one tool. However, when you think about all the extra baggage your business is carrying daily in the form of productivity killers, doing away with all of them would make a big impact, right? The best way to address this is through value stream mapping. 

What Can Value Stream Mapping Do For You?
  • Once you create a map of the current situation, the steps you take to complete your product or service become clear.
  • Once you evaluate each step as to whether it's value-added or non-value-added, you can begin to improve.
  • Once you have created a map that shows the current state, you can create another that shows the future state.
  • The current state value stream map tells you where you are. The future state value stream map tells you where to go. But how to get there? This webinar will show you how to create both current state and future state maps, and understand the tools used to create them.
