Abstract

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a visual and analytical technique used in process improvement to identify, analyze, and optimize the flow of materials and information within a system. It provides a comprehensive view of a process from beginning to end, allowing organizations to pinpoint inefficiencies, reduce waste, and enhance customer value delivery. By involving cross-functional teams in the mapping process, VSM fosters collaboration and facilitates continuous improvement initiatives. It is a dynamic tool that supports businesses in streamlining their operations, increasing efficiency, and maintaining a customer-centric focus for sustained success.
