Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a valuable Lean tool for understanding the current or as-is state and for visualizing your future state. It helps identify wastes and define opportunities to make improvements and guides improvements based on a strategically developed plan.

Value Stream Mapping should be more about implementing the improvements than about the mapping itself. The kit simplifies the mapping process and reduces time spent on drawing the map. It also reduces scope for legibility issues and offers a truly professional look. Current states drawn on whiteboards are erased to sketch a future state, participants are constantly referring to photos of the current state to help design a future state. This kit eliminates the need for this as the icons are also a means of recording the information and using them as a reference for analysis and developing action plans.

The data box, process box and kaizen burst consists of dry wipe material, allowing the use of a dry wipe marker on it. The kit also comes with a book that offers a step-by-step guide to value stream mapping. The whole kit comes in a three ring binder. All the icons are kept separate compartments to keep your icons stored safely when not in use.
