Value Stream Mapping
Value stream mapping is a valuable tool used to create value and eliminate MUDA (waste). The value stream map is the most important tool used to make sustainable progress in reducing MUDA. Create a value stream map and learn to use it to differentiate between value and waste and to get rid of the waste. The value stream map lets you identify every process in the flow. It should be used every time a change is made to any process or flow.
