Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a tool used to create a material and information flow map of a product
or process. This powerful tool allows companies to map the flow of products and information from order
to cash as well as throughout the supply chain. Mapping the value stream, you plan accordingly.
Please RSVP to one of the board members. Mapping the value stream, you begin the journey with the
current state map - it shows you where you are. Then, you plan your Lean journey with a future state
map - it shows you where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. Based on your value stream
map, you can streamline work processes, thereby cutting lead times and reducing operating costs.
