| Summary: | Value Stream Mapping is a lean technique with origins from
manufacturing environments and specifically from the factories of
the automobile manufacturer Toyota. However, considerable work
has been done by researchers to transform the terminology drawn
from a manufacturing environment in order to fit other
environments. This project is based on this transformation so that
Value Stream Mapping can be used in the warehouse, service and
office environments of Voici La Mode Ltd. A product family was
chosen and by following the flow of products and flow of information
through a specific value stream selected, the current state was
mapped. The wastes within the value stream were identified with
the use of a set of mapping tools and through the future map
suggested, the possible ways to eliminate these wastes were
provided. |
