 About value-stream mapping

Value-stream mapping is a fundamental step in any lean transformation because it leads to a better overall flow in an entire process instead of isolated improvements to a single point in a process.

Value-stream mapping creates a blueprint for applying other improvement tools and kaizen. It also helps people see beyond the symptoms of waste to the deeper root causes, so they can make substantial and sustainable improvements. Every company that is serious about becoming lean will want its employees and its suppliers to know this basic tool. The Training to See kit contains all the information and guidance you need to run comprehensive and cost-effective mapping workshops.
