Value Stream Maps
Value Stream Maps is a Lean Manufacturing technique that is used to document, analyze and improve the materials and information flow that are necessary to produce a service or a product.
A Value Stream Map will help you understand how the entire process works, from the moment that you receive the raw materials from your suppliers until the moment when your customers get your product or service.
A Value Stream Map gains special importance when an organization is trying to decrease the cycle time. Since you'll get a good perspective from both the management and the information systems, this will allow you to get a better insight of what needs to be made.
