Value-streaming is the chain of all specific activities required to bring products and/or services to the customer (internal or external). The objective is to eliminate as much of the non-value-added activities in the value stream as possible.
The concept: • Follow the process from the customer to the supplier, in reverse, and carefully draw a visual portrayal of each process in the flow of material and information. • Each action is either value-adding or non-value adding • Helps you visualize more than just the single-process level • Shows the linkage between the information flow and the material flow • Helps you see more than waste. You see the sources of waste in your value stream • Each action is either value-adding or non-value adding • Helps you visualize more than just the single-process level • Shows the linkage between the information flow and the material flow • Helps you see more than waste. You see the sources of waste in your value stream can help provide you with this lean technique ! |
