Value Stream Mapping

Value Stream Mapping

Value-stream mapping is a widely used lean-management method. It is used mainly for analyzing the current state for the series of events that take a product/service from its production all the way through to the customer. Apart from the current one, it may also help to design this product or service’s future state.

Value-stream mapping can be done by using the supporting methods that can be also used in Lean environments for analyzing as well as designing the flows. It can be done at the system level across multiple processes, being often associated with manufacturing. This method can be also used in supply chain, in logistics, in healthcare, in software development, in product development, in both administrative and office processes as well as in the service-related industries.

Value-stream mapping analyzes both material and information flow by using the so-called "artefact analysis" and "information flow" one. The last-mentioned one is known to be the analysis of information flows in the development process. The right lean manufacturing methodology can be used for analyzing and identifying the process improvement opportunities that are available at some production stage.

In order to draw the needed Value Stream Maps (VSM), the Value Stream Mapping solution can be used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software. To visualize the appropriate material as well as the needed information flow in order to deliver some product or some service to customers for some manufacturing plant, the Value Stream Mapping solution can be used.

The Value Stream Mapping solution can be useful and helpful for all the lean manufacturers as well as other producers and many project managers and other business-related specialists.


There is 1 library containing 40 vector shapes in the Value Stream Mapping solution.
