How to Compose a Value Stream Map or VSM

[@nessejohnson4846]

I was having a hard time with the VSM regarding the set up and key components of it all, so watching this video help a lot thank you -Anessia Johnson

[@cashaunatemple]

Your description what bottleneck mean was easy to understand, in my opinion. I like how the sweater manufacturing company provided a real-world illustration of how some process steps can become overloaded with work, leading to delays and inefficiencies. For entrepreneurs, the focus on error rates and time wasting is important. The VSM concept was made simple to understand by simulating the sweater-making process with symbols like lightning bolts, eyeglasses, and castle walls. The thorough analysis of every stage, from receiving a customer's purchase to delivering the product, demonstrated how efficiency is impacted by wait times and mistake rates. Cashauna Temple

Nice video! I learned about the use of value streams and the concept of bottlenecks. Value stream maps are useful tools for identifying bottlenecks and finding solutions and bottlenecks occur when there is an overflow of work that is not being processed at the same rate as other steps in a process. Waiting time is a major cause of bottlenecks and a waste of time. - Robert Adams

In this video I learned that value stream maps are a way to identify bottlenecks in a process (which are areas where work is slowed down). I liked the example of a company that makes sweaters to illustrate how value stream maps work. - Nina Millender

Vsm is used to show where your over flow of work isn’t being processed, where it should be processed. The example used was really good to show how in a process some things will get done faster than others. Not every business needs a value stream map. -Antoinette

[@JayyyDenisee]

I learnt from watching this video that there are numerous factors to consider while building a dive stream map, including the amount of time spent on valuable tasks and the number of times they are repeated. Always prioritize the mistake rate first. You'll lose time, money, and inventory if you don't concentrate on reducing your mistake rates as much as you can. -J Sammons

[@supadave8781]

In this video I learned about the value stream map and specifically how it relates to the business. Value stream maps are diagrams designed to explain where there are bottlenecks and help you figure out ways to solve them. VSMs are important to help you see the flow of the products and where they may be production gaps. In the value stream process factors that show up in this map are time, speed, and quality. I learned that in VSM it is always best to focus on the error rate first to save yourself time and wasted efforts. Error rates are extremely costly and narrow focus. It is important to add man power to error rate to keep your errors to zero. VSM maps help yo business process run efficiently and helps the companies bottom line. (David Huery)

[@katiacummings7568]

The VSM helps to determine what is worth it in the business. Also what changes need to be made. I think that it is important because sometimes, you can be spending time and money on something that can take less time and be cheaper and if you aren't looking at it, it may not be something you are thinking about. - KaTia Cummings

[@sonysaju9968]

Hey, good presentation. I have a doubt how to map the processes when they are acting in parallel? If the process is not one after the other but acting along at the same time.

[@DrDUniversity]

Hi Sony Saju. Thank you for watching my videos and for commenting. Are the processes related or independent? The VSM is a tool that measures interrelated steps in a process and is designed to highlight waiting time and bottle necks. If the processes are not exactly linked, you might consider a Gantt chart. Would you like me to create a video on a Gantt chart? If you can tell me a little more about the specific process, I can help you troubleshoot, suggest an alternative tool, or create a new one.

[@sonysaju9968]

@@DrDUniversity Thank you for your reply. I believe VSM is the right choice, the study is done for a logistic company. The process are interrelated and they are quality check of received goods and scanning of the barcode of the received products, it happens parallel at the same time. So should I see it as a single process or separate process in VSM?

[@DrDUniversity]

Hi Sony Sanju. It sounds like these are two steps in a much larger process. I would do one block for the scanning of the barcode. You may have noticed I discuss that quality control checks can also be illustrated as sub steps or they may be shown above the process with a glasses icon to indicate a quality control measure. Alternatively, you could designate the quality check and the barcode scan as a single sub step in the process and designate the appropriate time and error rate. I am not sure there is a right or wrong way on this one - it just depends on what you are trying to communicate. Does this help?

[@sonysaju9968]

@@DrDUniversity Hey, I got a picture now. The sub step method feels right, as i can divide the time between the process i believe it will work and I will try that one out. Thank you for your time and help. Also, is it ok if I ask your help and support if I have more doubts?

[@ennyolatoks1617]

From the video, I gathered that constructing a value stream map involves considering various factors, such as the time allocated to valuable tasks and their frequency. The primary focus should be on minimizing mistake rates, as neglecting this aspect can result in losses of time, money, and inventory. Prioritizing the reduction of mistake rates is crucial for efficiency and overall success.- eniola

I understood that in the same way of the sipoc, the VSM is a plan of a process to organize working in a company.

[@kameronporter7422]

The VSM is a powerful tool that can help you visualize where the waste is located in your company's process and find solutions to fix those solutions. When constructing a VSM you should consider the amount of time it takes to complete a task, and how much money is being spent on certain activities or processes. -Kameron Porter
