Providing a framework that highlights waste and its negative
effects on process performance, value stream maps (VSMs) are
essential components for successful Lean initiatives. While the
conventional VSM format has the basic structure to effectively
describe process operations, it must be adapted and expanded to
serve its purpose in the process industry.This book describes in
detail how to create a complete VSM for a process industry
manufacturing operation. Detailing the unique features of process
operations and why they require additions and adjustments to
traditional VSMs, the book walks readers through the steps in
analyzing the map. It explains how to scope improvement projects,
prioritize them, and then use future state VSMs to illustrate and
motivate systemic improvement. In doing so, it supplies readers
with a roadmap for a complete Lean transformation. Describes how to
analyze the map for waste and flow issues so that they can be
reduced and even eliminated Provides examples of the calculations
needed for the flow parameters in data boxes Explains how the VSM
concept can be applied to the entire supply chain Includes
strategies for engaging your entire workforce in map creation The
book introduces a target manufacturing process and uses it to
describe how to create a complete VSM. The target process is
complex enough to illustrate the issues often encountered in
mapping a process industry operation, but straightforward enough to
explain all of the mapping considerations and decisions.The book
includes real examples of how VSMs brought much greater clarity to
the real issues the processes faced and cases where the insight
enabled management to avoid costly, inappropriate investments.
