Identifying Non-Value Adding Activities in VSM PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 157-slide Lean - Value Stream Mapping (VSM) PowerPoint presentation, presents a summary of common non-value adding activities identified through Value Stream Mapping (VSM) experiences. It highlights various inefficiencies that organizations often encounter, which can hinder operational effectiveness and resource utilization.

Key findings include "Loopbacks," indicating a lack of documented standard work, which can lead to unnecessary repetition and wasted effort. "Unnecessary handoffs" suggest that processes may be overly fragmented, complicating workflows and increasing delays. The mention of "Rework due to errors and lack of clarity" underscores the importance of clear communication and defined processes to minimize mistakes.

"Batching" is noted as a practice that can slow down response times, while "Functions missing or getting involved too early or too late in the process" points to issues with timing and coordination among teams. "Redundant activities" reflect inefficiencies that could be streamlined or eliminated entirely.

The slide also addresses "High variation in how work is performed," which can lead to inconsistent outcomes and quality. "Push and overburden" indicates that teams may be overwhelmed with tasks, leading to burnout and decreased productivity.

Overall, the insights provided on this slide serve as a critical reflection on operational practices. They offer a pathway for organizations to identify areas for improvement, streamline processes, and ultimately enhance overall performance. The findings can guide strategic discussions on how to implement effective changes that align with organizational goals.

This slide is part of the Lean - Value Stream Mapping (VSM) PowerPoint presentation.

Developed by a Senior Executive and Operational Excellence Coach with experience at organizations including NOKIA, MICROVENTION, and MAGELLAN, this is a presentation and templates for planning and performing a Value Stream Mapping Event.
