value stream map, VSM Value Stream Mapping

value stream map, VSM
In order to draw the Value Stream Maps (VSM), the Value Stream Mapping solution can be used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM charting and drawing software. To visualize the appropriate material and the needed information flow in order to deliver some product or some service to customers for some manufacturing plant, the Value Stream Mapping solution is used. It is useful and helpful for all the lean manufacturers and producers, project managers and other business-related specialists.

Value Stream Mapping Symbols

VSM symbols are the best for a production process designing. The entire Value Stream Mapping method uses a graphical representation of the manufacturing process, factors' pros and cons, that all stakeholders can easily understand. Value Stream Mapping is a graphical technique that provides possibilities to improve analysis of a manufacturing process, at the stage of the transferring information or materials that required to deliver a product or service to the customer.

How To Create a Value Stream Map

Value stream mapping is an essential lean tool used to visualize a production process of any level and complexity and a sales process. It helps to document all steps of a specific product or service on the way from the supplier to the customer, including design, development, order processing, production, transportation, and delivery steps. Value Stream Mapping solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software and unique standard symbols and components are used to create a Value Stream Map, describe the lean manufacturing process from idea to production, map manufacturing processes, depict work streams and information flows, adding-value and non-adding-value components to eliminate the last ones and improve processes.

Value Stream Mapping Template

The Value Stream Map is one of the key tools of lean practitioners. It helps aptly describe the manufacturing processes both complex and simple. It supports process improvement, allows identifying waste, and reducing process cycle times. Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Value Stream Mapping solution to document processes starting with a professionally designed Value Stream Mapping template.

What is Value Stream Mapping?

Value stream maps (VSM) are an essential tool for organizations applying Lean methods.

Value stream with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

The Value stream is a totality of all actions on the projection, order composition and production: starting from creation a product project to launching this product, from order to delivery, from extraction of raw materials to ready product manufacturing. Value stream mapping is a process of visualization of these actions and creation of a detailed and graphical map.
