A value stream map is a process flow diagram used to identify problems in a company’s material or information flow. The origin of the VSM can be traced back to Toyota.
In this module, you will learn how to create a value stream map at a strategic level with a cross-functional team. The information and material flows as well as key figures in the VSM are presented as the current status (Current VSM). From this, you derive the future, improved state of your process (Future VSM). You define measures to achieve this new state.

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a highly effective visual method used in product development and production to analyze and improve flows of materials and information. The main objective of VSM is to visualize the entire process chain from raw material extraction to the customer in detail in order to identify and exploit optimization potential.
By clearly visualizing the current state of the value stream, bottlenecks, waste and inefficient processes can be easily identified. In addition, VSM enables a holistic view of the production process, including all relevant information and value creation steps. By analyzing the current state and developing a future state, organizations can implement targeted improvement measures to increase efficiency, shorten lead times and increase customer satisfaction.
VSM was developed as part of the Lean Manufacturing philosophy, which has its roots in the Toyota Production System. It is designed to identify and improve inefficient parts of production lines by focusing on creating value for the customer.
VSM is used in various industries to analyze and improve process flows. This method helps companies to reduce waste and shorten throughput times. It is often used in manufacturing, but also in service and software development.
