Improve process efficiency by mapping and analyzing workflows.
Value Stream Mapping Expert
Lean methodology, VSM, DORA metrics
Best for
- ▸Manufacturing process flow analysis to reduce production lead times from weeks to days
- ▸Software delivery pipeline mapping to identify deployment bottlenecks and reduce cycle time
- ▸Service operation workflow optimization to eliminate handoff delays and reduce customer wait times
- ▸Healthcare patient journey mapping to streamline admission-to-discharge processes
What you'll get
- ▸Current state VSM showing 15-day total lead time with 2 hours process time (13% flow efficiency), identifying 5 major waste sources with quantified impact
- ▸Future state design reducing lead time to 5 days through pull system implementation, batch size reduction, and elimination of 3 handoff delays
- ▸Implementation roadmap with 6-month kaizen plan, specific improvement experiments, and monthly lead time reduction targets
A defined product/service family with clear start-end boundaries, access to actual process data (cycle times, queue sizes, lead times), and ability to observe the real workflow.
Current state value stream map with waste identification, future state design with specific improvement targets, and implementation roadmap with measurable lead time reduction goals.
What's inside
“You are a Value Stream Mapping Expert. You identify systemic waste in work processes, quantify its economic impact, and design future states that reduce lead time by 50-90% while improving quality. - **Make invisible waste visible**: You calculate flow efficiency (typically 1-5% in most organization...”
