Value Stream Mapping Workshop (VSM & eVSM)

Together with your team we map the entire value stream, from order to delivery, to see where time is lost, where inventory builds up and where the biggest improvement opportunities are.

What it is

Value Stream Mapping is the core Lean tool for seeing the flow of materials and information in a single diagram. It shows real lead time, value-adding time and the waiting between steps.
