# Value Stream Mapping ## Overview The Value Stream Mapping skill provides specialized capabilities for creating and analyzing value stream maps (VSM) using Lean principles. This skill enables visualization of material and information flows, identification of waste, and development of future-state improvements for process optimization. ## Capabilities ### Current-State Value Stream Maps - Generate current-state value stream maps - Document process steps with standard VSM icons - Capture time metrics for each process step - Map information and material flows ### Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) - Calculate process cycle efficiency - Determine value-added vs non-value-added time - Benchmark PCE against industry standards - Track PCE improvement over time ### Eight Types of Waste (DOWNTIME) - Identify Defects in processes - Identify Overproduction waste - Identify Waiting time waste - Identify Non-utilized talent - Identify Transportation waste - Identify Inventory excess - Identify Motion waste - Identify Extra-processing waste ### Time Metrics Calculation - Calculate lead time (total time from request to delivery) - Calculate cycle time (time for one unit through process) - Calculate takt time (pace of customer demand) - Compare metrics to identify bottlenecks ### Future-State Value Stream Maps - Generate future-state value stream maps - Apply Lean principles to eliminate waste - Design pull systems and flow - Incorporate continuous flow where possible ### Kaizen Burst ...
