ConceptDraw DIAGRAM as an effective Value Stream Mapping design software offers the Value Stream Mapping solution. This solution is an easy-to-use tool but quite powerful for VSM creating even for beginners. It includes a great library of all necessary vector stencils for constructing maps in a few clicks. You can drag and drop the library objects to the ConceptDraw document, arrange and align the elements to make an accurate map. Choose the desired color style, add clipart, notes, hyperlinks, and many more required elements.

It is effective to group at one part of the map the boxes representing non-value-added steps and the value-adding steps in another one. Analyze the non-value-added steps and then apply the actions reducing or eliminating these operations. Further, you can construct the map of an improved process, compare it with the target process, and maybe identify gaps for further improvement.

Now, using just constructed map you can analyze your process yourself or collaborate with co-workers, employees, managers, and executives for maximum efficiency. Succeed in value-stream mapping and easily export your map to different programs and varied graphical formats in one click.
