Value Stream Mapping refers to the process that involves the extraction of waste from production, manufacturing and corporate processes. This process is done with the use of identification and elimination or simply applying uniformity in the undesirable phases. The entire process is depicted using a flow diagram so that the current state of the complete operation can be reflected. In each phase, the non-value operations are fetched along with the identification of overhead of time as well as resources. The complete process or operation is investigated so that the minimum complexity can be achieved. With reduction in wastefulness the overall performance and throughput is increased in the proposed system. Using this approach, the redesigned and reformed process is having more efficiency and effectiveness.
