Topic FAQ

What are the typical phases of a value stream mapping project?

A typical VSM project begins with defining the value stream and current-state mapping to visualize workflows and bottlenecks, followed by metrics analysis, future-state mapping, and creation of actionable improvement plans, then continuous improvement reviews. Flevy's Lean Champion Black Belt 2 - Map a Value Stream structures these phases across its Table of Contents including current and future state sections on pages 10 and 20.

Which metrics should I track during a value stream mapping exercise?

Key metrics commonly tracked during VSM sessions include cycle time, lead time, value-adding time, and defect rates to assess process performance and identify waste. The module explicitly lists these metrics as primary indicators to monitor during analysis and improvement planning.

How can value stream mapping be applied in service industries?

VSM is applicable to service processes by visualizing information and material flows, identifying non-value-added activities, and redesigning workflows—examples include order fulfillment and customer service processes. The module notes applicability to both manufacturing and service industries with relevant case examples.

What are PQ and PR analyses and how do they fit into VSM?

PQ (Product-Quantity) and PR (Product Routing) analyses are tools used within value stream mapping to evaluate product volumes and routing through processes, supporting identification of bottlenecks and optimization opportunities. The training includes tools for conducting PQ and PR analyses as part of VSM.

What should I look for when buying a VSM training deck for managers?

Look for content targeted at manager-level learners, practical templates for current and future state mapping, metrics tracking sheets, case studies for real-world application, and guidance for creating improvement plans. The Lean Champion Black Belt 2 - Map a Value Stream is positioned for manager and above roles and contains 112 slides with templates and case studies.

How much time and participant mix is recommended to run a practical VSM workshop?

The sample workshop agenda suggests a compact format: a 60-minute VSM introduction, a 90-minute current-state mapping workshop with hands-on activities, and a 90-minute future-state planning session to develop improvement plans. These suggested durations are provided as a practical agenda in the module.

After a merger, how should I start mapping a combined value stream across sites?

Begin by mapping current-state processes at each site to identify value-added versus non-value-added activities, use PQ/PR analyses to understand volumes and routings, compare metrics like cycle and lead time, then create consolidated future-state maps and improvement plans. The module includes current state mapping techniques and PQ/PR tools to support this.

Are pre-built VSM templates worth buying versus building from scratch?

Pre-built templates can accelerate workshops and ensure consistent data capture; they also allow tailoring to organizational KPIs and processes. The module provides value stream mapping templates, metrics tracking sheets, and improvement plan templates along with guidance on customization for company-specific KPIs.
