John Shook were asked to use their knowledge of Toyota practices to create a simple tool for managers to enable them to see the flow of value. They came up with Value Stream Mapping. This lean tool can help companies optimize their production in such a way that it results in drastic reduction in cost and throughput time and also improved quality. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) allows user to create a concrete plan to make most efficient use of the available resources. VSM is one of the most powerful lean…

Assessment of Value Stream Mapping Tools Introduction Value-stream mapping is the study of processes and systems required to bring a product or service from a provider to a manufacturer. The series of techniques used throughout value stream mapping are most often used for providing manufacturers with the ability to attain lean manufacturing process performance improvements by mitigating and eliminating the seven types of waste (Van Goubergen, Van Landeghem, Van Aken, Letens, 2003). The intent…

assignment I studied and analyzed three tools that can help me and are fundamental to success in this business world that is ruled by time and efficiency. The tools I selected are: Visual Management, Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) and Value Stream Mapping. VISUAL MANAGEMENT: In order to continuously improve and progress as an organization, people need to observe, communicate and sharing information. The visual management is a strategy that make information easier to interpret and immediately…

This project work has given very good information on the usage of the major tools of Value stream mapping. It has also provided me knowledge on the Single piece flow, Cell design, material presentation & super market to support for the Takted manufacturing assembly cell. A lot of analysis like PQ, Capacity Analysis, line balancing for cell design and super market, material presentation & water spider for wastes elimination from the assembly process. 6.1.1 Action completed per plan before Mid Semester…

LEAN AND CLEAN VALUE STREAM MAPPING Value stream mapping is a Lean process-mapping method for understanding the sequence of activities used to produce a product. During the Green Suppliers Network technical review, you will use value stream mapping to identify sources of non-value added time or materials; identify opportunities to increase efficiency; and develop a plan for implementing improvements. Value stream maps serve as a critical tool during the review process and can reveal substantial…

Value Stream Mapping Prof. N.Raghavan Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Definitions • Value: What the Client wants from the process • Value stream: Includes all the processes and activities used to design, produce and deliver the product or service to the Client. --- All the steps – both value added and non value added – required to take a product or service from its raw materials state into the waiting arms of a happy customer. • Value Stream Map: Special type of flow chart that uses…
