Value Stream Map
A Value Stream Map (VSM) is a hand-drawn map that helps people to see and understand process, material and information flow through a value stream, from start to finish.

Elements of the VSMCustomer Demand
• What are the different product variants within this value stream?
• Who are the different customers? • What is the high, low and mean ordering
pattern? (Monthly/weekly/daily)• How often do we deliver to this customer family?• What is the takt time? • Decide on which product variants to include for rest of VSM
analysis
Customer
Part A = 1000/wk Part B = 500/wk Part C = 500/wk (400 pcs/day)

Elements of the VSMManufacturing Process Flow
• Mark processes that add value (not departments, mark the difference)
• Identify metrics for each process (eg. Cycle time, value-added time, lead time, changeover losses, no. of machines, operators, shifts, batch sizes, scrap/rework, etc.)

• Map the material flow along with frequencies• Mark each location of inventory, with quantity

• What is the sequence of steps to process a customer order? • How are the shop orders and purchase orders generated and distributed?
• Who gets them?• How frequently?• How are exceptions handled?
• How do we react to customer emergencies?• How do we schedule production (i.e. How does the operator know what to build next)?• Each process block on the VSM must be backed by a process flow chart with as much detail
as required by the process• Processing times (for each step of information analysis or communication) and waiting
times (between information flow processes) must be measured

• Convert all inventory quantities into DOH and mark processing times on the step graph
• Add all DOH times to compute Non-value added time. Add all cycle times to compute Processing Time. The total of the two is lead time
