Why value stream mapping?:

A lean transformation needs a thorough assessment of the current situation, a meaningful model for improvement and a plan to get there. A complete value stream map with quantified KPIs will quickly provide visibility as well as train company personnel in seeing the interaction among departments, suppliers, customers and everything that touches the product throughout the value stream.
