Do you have to analyse and improve your internal or external information and material flow?#

The value stream management (VSM) tool collects, evaluates and continuously improves product and information flows. The procedure consists of three main phases (Analysis, Design and Planning). First, map and analyze the current state. Second, identify potential improvements and design future state. Third, implement improvements for a future state with less waste and a reduced lead time.
