What is a Value Stream Map (VSM) and how can it help you:

Value stream mapping is a powerful lean manufacturing technique commonly used in manufacturing, healthcare, software & product development, logistics, supply chain, and service industries.

Also known as "material and information flow mapping", a value stream map uses a diagram to analyze the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. A value stream map helps you quickly visualize your entire process, identifying bottlenecks or inefficiencies where the processes can be streamlined or improved. You can see more than just one component of your business (eg. Assembly, Quality Assurance, etc.), and instead visualize the total business flow, easily identifying the stoppages and waste that can be eliminated.

With SmartDraw, you can create floor plans for Spaghetti Diagrams, Pareto Charts, Current & Future State maps, and many typical lean charts.
