Value stream management

The value stream management , engl. Value Stream Management , is a business management tool in the field of production management and supply chain management to improve the production and material flow as well as the associated flow of information . The value stream management comprises three essential sub-areas that should be worked through in sequence:

1. Value stream analysis ( Value Stream Mapping ),
2. Value stream ( Value Stream Design ) and
3. Value stream planning ( Value Stream Planning ).

First, the examination area is defined and selected, e.g. B. a suitable product or part family with which there are particularly frequent problems or for which the expected improvements and savings are rated particularly highly (e.g. concentration on an A-type product with a very high number of pieces). A detailed value stream analysis is then carried out first in order to record the current status of a value stream ; The most important facts that characterize the value stream are recorded and visualized, as well as the weak points are drawn in; this promotes in particular the common understanding of those involved about the actual sequence and the dependencies of the physical and informational process. In the following value stream design, the target state of the value stream (e.g. in the form of a drawing) is designed, a draft of a common vision for a customer-oriented improved material and information flow (VSD vision). The subsequent value stream planning provides for the planning and implementation of measures with the aim of VSD vision, the integration of target development and regular PDCA cycles .
