Text Box: Value Stream Mapping Simulation (VSM) Text Box: Value Stream Mapping is a method of visually mapping a product’s  path. It is pencil and paper tool that helps in understanding the material and the information flow as the product makes its way from the raw material to the finished goods. VSM includes physically mapping your “current state” while also focusing on where you want to be, or your “future state”.    

 

                                                                                              

 

                                                

                Text Box: · Integrates material and information flow · Links production control and scheduling · Forms the basis for Lean implementation · Provides the company with a blue print for strategic planning Text Box:  You will Learn in this Board Game: · How to identify the target product, product family, or service. · Draw a current state value stream map, which is the current steps, delays, and information flows required to deliver the target product or service. This may be a production flow or a design flow. There are 'standard' symbols for representing entities. · Assess the current state value stream map in terms of creating flow by eliminating waste. · Draw a future state value stream map. · Implement the future state.
