Value Stream Mapping

The value stream mapping, Eng. Value Stream Design ( VSD), is the second step of the so-called value stream management (Value Stream Management ), a business tool in the field of production planning and control.

The method is the design (" target state " ) from a shared vision for an improved customer-oriented material and information flow of the entire value stream (VSD Vision). Previously in the value stream analysis of the actual state, starting from the end user (customer ) on production ( Producer) to suppliers (Supplier ), held in the drawing.

The value stream describes how the current production is supposed to work in the future. It is a designed value of current at which the non-value- added activities are eliminated. The necessary steps are recorded in an activity plan that will be implemented step by step.

Procedure

The design of an improved customer-driven value stream provides for the implementation of the BPS principles and taking into account the value of current guidelines. Their seven steps are:

Characteristics of Value Stream

In contrast to other methods which are not only worked with the flow of material, but also the flow of information controls the production, considered and designed. The value stream map is iteratively adapted and refined over time. It serves as a template that will help you. Seeks to ensure that individual improvement efforts ultimately result in a round whole, and lead to a better system

One of the main goals of value stream mapping is to link all the processes in the value stream together so that a flow is created. This value stream is largely controlled by the customer -pull. Through a close linkage of the processes within the value stream you are trying to achieve a reduction of processing time as well as a simultaneous reduction of stocks, errors and rejects. Here is also trying to shift the control of individual processes to the control of an entire, efficient, customer-oriented value current flow.

Objectives of the value stream

The aim of the value stream is to improve the whole thing - from gate to gate and then even beyond the factory gates out of the supply chain.

Further objectives of the application of the method:

  • Depletion of stocks ( raw materials, semi -finished and finished goods)
  • Reduction of lead- time ( from order entry to goods of the customer delivery)
  • Increase the quality through immediate feedback
  • Increase in on-time delivery to customers
