Value Stream
& Process Mapping
How
To Do It
What
To Do With It
Value
Stream Mapping is part of the growing panoply of tools and
techniques for Lean Manufacturing. It joins the much older
Process Mapping (or charting) as a method for visualizing
workflow.
The
"How to do it" of mapping
workflow is fairly straightforward. The more difficult and more important
issue is
"What to do with it"-- i.e., How to translate
insights from mapping into an effective Manufacturing
Strategy. And, further, how to develop effective implementation
plans.
There
is much more information on our
web pages:
Value Stream and
Process Mapping addresses the first issue.
Lean
Implementation addresses the second. All of the information on
our web pages and much more is in my new book,
"The Strategos Guide To Value Stream & Process Mapping".
