Value Stream Mapping

Tool

You can't improve a process you haven't measured. A value stream map shows you exactly where time is spent and where it's wasted.

Overview

Map your value stream to identify waste and optimize flow. Define process and wait steps, measure lead time vs. value-add time, and calculate Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE).
