VSM
It's a graphic technique
It is used in management and in lean manufacturing
What is?
It works systematically.
It is one of the most used techniques to create improvement plans.
Focuses on
Solving all the problems that exist in a production process
Increase productivity
Add value to a produc
Reduce / eliminate waste
It's an in-depth process that is found within the organization and in the supply chain.
The vsm is represented visually.
BENEFITS
Obtain the highest value for the client in the most efficient way possible
Be able to have a continuous improvement
Detect and develop competitive advantages
Avoid failures during the whole process.
Value
What the customer is buying.
Stream
What means VSM?
The flow of the processes through the organization that convert the materials into a product or service
Mapping
Visually documenting the value chain in order
Provides the necessary means to
Visualize the interaction between the different functions within the manufacturing process.
What provides?
Know the coordination of flow materials and flow information.
Recognize the factors that limit us
To perform a VSM, the steps must be followed in order.
Process
1. Identify the family of products to be drawn
using a product-process matrix.
2. Draw the current status of the process identifying the inventories between operations, material flow and information.
The current VSM survey shows the information flow and the product flow.
3. Analyze the vision on how the future state should be
Design the future state in tools such as
We will analyze and answer questions
What processes are integrated?
How many operators does the line require?
How many teams?
What space?
4. Draw the future VSM.
We will build processes that are linked to customers, working at tack time, in continuous flow and pulled by the client.
5. Form action plan and implement actions.
Make changes and we will translate them into an action plan.
