Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. At Toyota, where the technique originated, it is known as “material and information flow mapping”. It can be applied to any value chain. Value stream mapping has supporting methods that are often used in lean environments to analyze and design flows at the system level. It is often associated with manufacturing but it can be used in healthcare, service related industries, administrative and office processes.
