Value stream mapping in education: addressing work stress

Integrating Work Environment Considerations Into Lean and Value Stream Mapping

Implementation of a Lean Model for Carrying out Value Stream Mapping in a Manufacturing Industry

Value Stream Mapping technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are involved with a process or transformation. In this respect, Value stream mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the ma...

Using Lean Value Stream Mapping to Align the Work Streams of Two Companies

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a tool used in lean operations. Existing cases show how it has been used to launch a Lean organization or trigger large improvements, but there is little information on its use in merging the work streams of two discrete companies. This paper will discuss this approach.

Improving Wait Times to Care for Individuals with Multimorbidities and Complex Conditions Using Value Stream Mapping

Background Recognizing the significant impact of wait times for care for individuals with complex chronic conditions, we applied a LEAN methodology, namely – an adaptation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to meet the needs of people with multiple chronic conditions and to improve wait times without additional resources or funding.   Methods Over an 18-month time period, staff applied a patient-cen...

Dynamic Value Stream Mapping in the Realm of Green Manufacturing

Value stream mapping is a lean tool which is used in lean manufacturing to find the flow of information and material, as a product it makes way through value stream. These envision tool helps to understand processes by using of stream lined work process. In these paper value stream maps of a process by using simulation is developed. By creating dynamic value stream maps makes it possible to ana...
