Mapping Your Path –Using Value Stream Maps to Improve2020 Washington State Government Lean Transformation Conference

Core Objectives Recognize and read a value stream map Describe the purposes of and differencesbetween value stream and process maps Build and use value stream maps to improve

What is Lean?EnergyIt is WORK SCIENCE based on flow.Goal: deliver maximum value to thecustomer using the least amount of energy.Concept credit: Joanne Gaudet & France Bergeron

What is Flow?To flow means to move along in a steady, continuous, predictable fashion.Many barriers to flowFew or no barriers to flowIn Lean, we pursue continuous flow, where value reaches thecustomer by passing quickly and easily through a steadysequence of value-added activities.

PollWhen it comes to value stream mapping, I would say: I’m here to learn what it is. I know about it, but haven’t experienced it. I’ve participated in it. I’ve facilitated it.

What is a Value Stream?All the materials and work ittakes to create and deliver aproduct to the customer.What is a Value Stream Map?A drawing that shows theflow of material andinformation through theproduction process.Energy

Why Draw a Value Stream Map?1. See flow across the system – to find & remove barriers2. Share understanding – to make better decisions3. Clarify value – to identify waste4. Connect each function to the customer – to keep them inmind5. Evaluate the work from objective and quantitative point ofview – to measure performance and changes6. Manage and continually improve the system of work – tostay in business

How to Build a Current State Value Stream Map1. Map material flow2. Map information flow3. Add timeline and calculateprocess performance data

Map Material Flow Be the thing and walk the process – sketch reality Identify major work activities: operator and process step Identify inventory (inbox) queues

Material Flow Example: Licensee Data EntryLicenseePublicAdmin. Asst.Scan Tech.Data Tech.Senior Tech.SupervisorOpen & BatchMailScan & Log FormsEnter Form DataCheck Data inSystemRelease DataRequirements:- Easy to find- Available w/in 7 days- Accurate

Map Information Flow & Capture Data Be the thing and walk the process – try in reverse Specify how the input is supplied Identify electronic systems used to capture/transfer info. Capture who gets information, how, and how often

Information Flow Example: Licensee Data enseeFormsLicenseeInformationAdmin. Asst.Scan Tech.Data Tech.Senior Tech.SupervisorOpen & BatchMailScan & Log FormsEnter Form DataCheck Data inSystemRelease DataRequirements:- Easy to find- Available w/in 7 days- Accurate

Map Information Flow & Capture Data – cont’d Measure what’s happening Capture data about time, quality, and customer demand Note inventory and number of operators at workstations Identify quality issues and rework loops Optional: label the product between workstations

Add Timeline & Calculate Performance Data Draw timeline along bottom Calculate process performance metrics: Lead (total production) time: Cycle Time Wait Time Value-added time: Sum of value-adding Touch Time Rolled throughput yield: Product of all Incoming Yields

Common Value Stream Mapping SymbolsWhatWhatMaterial flow to Customer or fromSupplierPhysical flow (what)WhatAARework (location where defect detected)Electronic flow (what)Rework (location where defect startsrework)# ofiterationsIteration loop (between twoprocesses or within one process)Summary MetricsLead Time (LT): The total time a customer must wait to receive aproduct after placing an order (or initiating the process).Rework Loops: When a work product contains errors (incomplete orinaccurate) and must be sent back upstream to be fixed.Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY): The probability that a single unit canpass through a series of steps free from defects. To calculate, multiplythe IY for each step.Value Added : Non-Value Added (VA/NVA): For an activity to be valueadded, it must meet all three of these criteria:1)The customer must care about it.2) It must change the fit, form, or function.3) It must be done right the first time.A Non-Value Added step is anything that does not meet these threecriteria.Handoffs: The number of time a product changes hands in a process onits way to being completed.

10 Mapping Pitfalls & How to Avoid ThemIt’s a mistake to: Map only in a conference roomDraw what supposedly happensDive too deep into details (tasks)Follow operatorsCorrect operatorsJump to solutionsSkip metricsMap solo or “stitch” maps togetherStop at mappingFocus on making a beautiful mapusing technologySo, instead: Go and see firsthandCapture realityThink “high-level handoffs”Follow the productObserve, inquire, and seek to understandNote problems (pain)Measure what happensMap whole process together as a teamUse maps as launch pad for actionDraw – in pencil – the messy truth, andkeep it dynamic (change it as you learn)
