Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Maps visualize for a manufacturing plant the material and information flow required to deliver a product or service to customers. They are used in lean manufacturing methodology to identify and analyze the process steps and improve available opportunities. The new Value Stream Mapping solution found in the ConceptDraw Solution Park continues to extend the range of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM opportunities. It turns it into a business graphics tool perfect to document processes in any organization.
After reviewing the production steps on the map, the company can identify the handoff steps and strives to eliminate them. In most, these are defects or overproduction leading to wasteful spending on the raw materials and storage of the useless inventory. In software development, VSM helps reveal inefficiencies, reduce the number of steps, eliminate the need for rework. It helps to identify delays occurred for different reasons and waste befell from lack of internal documentation or partially completed work. Typically, the non-completed work includes the frozen money and requires more money and additional efforts to be finished, and don't bring profit.
