Value Stream Mapping

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean Operations tool that visually represents the flow of materials and information in a process. It helps identify steps that add value to a product or service and those that do not, known as waste. By mapping out each stage, teams can see where improvements can be made to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and speed up delivery. Ultimately, VSM aids organizations in creating more streamlined operations that better meet customer needs while minimizing unnecessary tasks.
