Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a lean management technique used to analyze the flow of materials and information currently required to bring a product or service to a Customer. The goal of value stream mapping is to reduce the end-to-end lead time of a process by highlighting and eliminating sources of waste, as well as by building processes and value chain where the individual process steps are directly linked to their customers either by continuous flow or by pull.
