VIDEO CORRECTION: At 3:22 min - the starburst is mistakenly called a Kanban Burst. Please note it is actually a KAIZEN BURST. At 11:40 min - pulling the order should be 200 units NOT 175 units. Why? The 25 units that currently exists are the old version. They will have to be either reworked or destroyed. Thank you for watching.
This was so useful. I have a project that I am working on and couldn't figure out how to do a value stream for Quality. My Black belt coach has insisted I do one but couldn't figure out how. He wanted me to try on my own first before he helped. This was great. Thanks!
Thank you for adding in the manufacturing information! This video was beneficial for me to get my Lean Manufacturing class homework done, and I ended up getting a 100% on the assignment! It was a very helpful video for me in the manufacturing world, even though it wasn't actually about a manufacturing example!
Hi Bailey. A huge congrats on your amazing mark! I am so glad this video helped you knock you assignment out of the park, well done. Thanks for watching and wishing you continued success with your studies. Cheers!
This vid was very instructional for our team project in the federal R&D sector. It really helped me more fully understand and appreciate the VSM process/tool. Great vid!
We have a VSM event starting next week in one of our manufacturing facilities. I haven't been involved in one for about 10 years, and this video was a great flashback to those days. Great to that everyone should know. Thanks for making the video.
Great step by step explanation about Value Stream mapping. Good way to look at an overall process and see where issues can arise and areas where improvements can be made. Great Lean technique.
Very clear explanation of value stream mapping. This is a great video for someone new to value stream mapping or a refresher for someone who has used this before. Fantastic!
Fantastic video, thank you for making it! I’m a newish enterprise agile coach and looking at how to improve the system I’m over. We have a dire need to see how value flows through the organization. I suspect it takes us entirely too long to turn around ideas to features.
Great presentation, thanks. Actually i use vsm in my wirk as devops coach to understand what kind of problems a project is facing m, it helps a lot to find the right solution.
It's most commonly known to be used in the manufacturing industry but value stream mapping has many values in other areas of business. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Thank you! I am happy that the explanation of value stream mapping was clear:) It's a really useful project management tool and easy to use. Thanks for tuning in, Cheers!
Brilliant. So easy to follow. You make perfect sense, and broken down by step like that makes me believe that I can follow it! Sorry... this is a total aside, but I just LOVE checking out your backgrounds to your videos!!
Thank yo so much for the wonderful feedback. It's not too difficult to value stream map if you have clear step by step instructions. I am happy to know that my video was clear and broken down in such a way that it was easy to follow. Cheers!!
Great video, Adriana! Can I ask why you are considering the total time within each process as value added time? The value added time in step one is only 30 minutes but then you’ve taken the entire 180 as vat in the time flow underneath. Is it because we’re just looking at the process holistically for now and then deep dive with root-cause analysis later on?
Thanks for your comment. The VAT is 30 min per book. VAT is the time it takes for one unit from the batch to be completed. Because we have 6 books the TT is 180 min which aligns with the definition of total time--the total time for the batch to be completed for the process step. Process definition at 9 min mark. Hope this helps.
@@AdrianaGirdler do we take in account 70% uptime of QC process in calculation of total lead time? so it would be (60min * 6books) + (100/70 * 360min) = 511min instead of 360min

Thank you for the explanation this video. The "non-value-added time" where we push from one stage to another indicates the work being done by the suppliers. Does that mean there is no value in the supplier's work?
I wanna be a project management ninja, but I never heard of a Value Stream Map ! You are sooo smart :-). I would have to hire u to do the map. I cannot even use canva.....so sad.....
You can be what every you want to be Eli!!:) I have no doubt that you could learn to do this, I know you have a project management ninja just screaming to get out lol!!! Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Nice presentation, but...... My biggest area of concern with the mapped process is that you are shipping 25 "old" revisions along with 175 "new" revisions. It may be insignificant based on the type of revision, but could be substantial if a complete chapter was added. I think that deserves a huge Kanban Burst.
Question, the 25 originally in stock, if they are used in the final delivery are these not old versions? The Value the customer has is a set of the most up to date books at a basic level ? Great video, learnt more in 19 mins than hours of reading.
You can use a value stream map to create a future state map and you should always revisit your maps when you make any improvements. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
It depends on why you are doing the future state map. Is it for improvements? Then yes, map the current state so you ensure you don’t repeat activities that don’t work or are inefficient. Cheers.
@SudarshanKR It depends on what the step is. Since VSM follows the transformation of a product I would challenge whether the process you want to document is truly a parallel steps as it is difficult to physically transform a product in two place at the same time. Are you referring to QC testing that may occur at the same time or a part that is produced on a different line that gets assembled to the product in the process you are documenting? If it’s QC testing put by a box in the middle of the map and have arrows going back and forth to show which step does the testing. If it’s a part, put a box and call it warehouse and do the same arrow concept as QC as most parts that are added to a product usually are stored in a warehouse until use. Hope this helps.
Jason...yes.... you are correct. Thanks for catching that. It is kaizen burst. Unfortunately there is no way to correct it in the video. ☹️ So glad you are paying attention and you asked for clarification.
Dear Adriana. Thanks a lot for the video. I`m doing the value stream mapping for a production line. I understood VSM is a snapshot but I`m worried about the variation of data because I will take decisions based in this snapshot. After making the VSM, should I collect more data (from ERP and production records) to have a better estimate of cycle times, wips, lead time? Please, can you make a video talking about the use of takt time in VSM ? I have one more doubt. I`m mapping a production line that is dedicated for two products. The process is identical for both products. But the batch sizes and cycle times of these producs are very different. Is not a problem mapping only one of them and deciding about bottlenecks and lead times based in only one of the products?
VSM is a continuous improvement tool. The key to all CI tools and activities is quick and crude is better then slow and fancy because you will always have the opportunity to review and streamline again. The snap shot and improvement activities are meant to be done quickly. Data constantly changes. If you really need extra data then just review the last 3 months or better yet collect current data for the next 3 months which will give you higher data accuracy. Data collection is important BUT it can also impede progress. You will need to balance data collection with needs.
Can we use this VSM to the bond warehouse. It's doing only storing air cargoes and dispatch if the consignee requirement. Not producing finished good or value adding.
Yes...VSMs can be used for any process just remember that VSMs are used to identify what areas you want to improve, process maps are used to get the details of a chosen process within the VSM which will allow you to identify waste and ensure the choose process is truly value added.
Thank you very much for the great explanation. May I use some of your slides as examples in my new book that I have been writing with mentioning your permission?
Hi Diler. If you could reach out via email with details. Visit www.cornerstonedynamics.com and connect through our contact us page. Looking forward to further information. Cheers!
Thank you for this really interesting video. I have a question please, does VSM tool apply for a procure-to-pay process ? I mean there is an issue with the payment cycle time that is so long that suppliers don't want to deal with our company anymore.
I have one question if it's given in question like operator no available fir 20% time or something like part from this machine do defect for 15% of time than does lead time and other get effected? Do we need to show the calculation for that in VSM diagram??
Hi Rudresh, thanks for watching and for your question. The visual will not change based on the data provided. The data you collect in your process flow, based on what you choose to measure, may be affected because you are collecting data in real time. Hope this helps to answer your question. Wishing you all the best, cheers!
Hi Adriana, Thanks a lot for explaining vsm in a very easy and effective way. 1 quick questoin. what is the difference between SIPOC and VSM? also do u have an example of VSM using same example which u used for SIPOC so that we can understand the difference better? i am asking because i have done vsm in png but not sipoc
Hi Shaif, check out my video on SIPOC Diagram Explained. ua-cam.com/video/9MRD0roDQB4/v-deo.html Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching, cheers
Hi Maam, i have a question - As per the Diagram i guess you just took one Unit of Books which is 6 books so that value added time and non value added time is for only 6 books which is 1 Unit. What about the 175 Units ? Should we multiply the VAT and NVAT with 175 or Not ? Could you please reply.
Hi Kamalpreet, thanks for your question. You need to take a look at the batch size, that being the total items completed in the process step, which in the video would be 6 books. Have another look at the video starting at 7:41, this should help clarify things for you. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Is Value Added Time really equal to the time for one unit from the batch to be completed? I was always taught that VAT is the time to transform the product from inputs to output and does not include waste or non-value added time.. The time to complete one unit includes both the VAT and non-value added time (ST + CT + transportation + inspection, etc.). Does this make sense?
Hi Mike, thanks for your question. Assumptions are key to answer your question. First...a VSM is a snap shot of the overall process from true start to true finish and is used to figure out where you need to do improvement activities. As a result VSMs are not meant to be perfect. In fact, it is highly recommended you draw it out with paper and pen. Putting it in a diagram as I did is truly a waste...but I did it for the video. The goal of the VSM is to get general information so you can figure out your area of improvement in the overall VSM. Second...when you collect your data for your VSM, you are going around asking for general information for a process step that will have multiple steps/activities within it. Most of the time organization do not have this type of data so when you ask for data for the overall process you need to make the assumption that what is being done is being transformed once. Remember, we are collecting high-level information to help us figure out where we need to make improvements. Last, when you have the overall picture/snap shot, you then decide what area you plan on improving. This is when you get your detailed data through detailed process mapping. It is at this point when you will get your true VAT time as you will have the right level of detail to identify what is value added and non valued added by identifying the waste in the chosen process. I hope this provided clarity.
@GregorySmith First, thanks for watching. Second, so glad you were paying attention. 🙂 This is a mistake on my part when I was recording. You are correct and we would never send outdated books. 🙌👍 Cheers.
@@AdrianaGirdler The fact that you went through an example and showed step by step how you diagrammed your realistic problem is probably the best thing about the video. (I realize that is what you CALLED the video). Seeing the example worked out helps me learn how to apply it to my circumstances. Other videos, which merely show the viewer what diagrams look like aren't NEARLY as helpful. Great job! And if you had not sent 25 out-of-date books to the customer, I might not have written at all! Ha!
If you are mapping a complex SwitchGear build and there is waste within an assembly process, such as lack of materials. Do you categorise the waiting for materials as NVA within this part of the assembly and the actual building of the SwitchGear as VA? If so do these constituent parts, then add together to form the Cycle time for that part of the Overall Assembly? (NVA + VA = CT?) Ps thanks for the upload.
@williambarr Thanks for your question. Unfortunately for me to answer it correctly I need more info. I will make some assumptions and give a high level answer. A1- waiting is one of the seven wastes. All waste is deemed NVA. When streamlining, the goal is to either eliminate, reduce or simplify. Building a part is NOT considered VA as the steps to build may have waste in the process. For something to be considered a VA activity it must change the function of a product or service, one time to meet the customer requirements. A2- Cycle time is the total time for working on a product getting it transformed and ready to ship to the customer. Cycle time = net production time divided by number of units produced. Hope this helped. Cheers!

Hey Adriana, Great Video ..How can we do a VSM for a process which has parallel processing steps. Any place that i look at to understand.
@SudarshanKR It depends on what the step is. Since VSM follows the transformation of a product I would challenge whether the process you want to document is truly a parallel steps as it is difficult to physically transform a product in two place at the same time. Are you referring to QC testing that may occur at the same time or a part that is produced on a different line that gets assembled to the product in the process you are documenting? If it’s QC testing put by a box in the middle of the map and have arrows going back and forth to show which step does the testing. If it’s a part, put a box and call it warehouse and do the same arrow concept as QC as most parts that are added to a product usually are stored in a warehouse until use. Hope this helps.

The data you collect in your process flow, based on what you choose to measure, may be affected because you are collecting data in real time. Hope this helps to answer your question. Wishing you all the best, cheers!
Hi Adriana, Thanks a lot for explaining vsm in a very easy and effective way. 1 quick questoin. what is the difference between SIPOC and VSM? also do u have an example of VSM using same example which u used for SIPOC so that we can understand the difference better? i am asking because i have done vsm in png but not sipoc
Hi Shaif, check out my video on SIPOC Diagram Explained. ua-cam.com/video/9MRD0roDQB4/v-deo.html
Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching, cheers
Hi Maam, i have a question - As per the Diagram i guess you just took one Unit of Books which is 6 books so that value added time and non value added time is for only 6 books which is 1 Unit. What about the 175 Units ? Should we multiply the VAT and NVAT with 175 or Not ? Could you please reply.
Hi Kamalpreet, thanks for your question. You need to take a look at the batch size, that being the total items completed in the process step, which in the video would be 6 books. Have another look at the video starting at 7:41, this should help clarify things for you. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Is Value Added Time really equal to the time for one unit from the batch to be completed? I was always taught that VAT is the time to transform the product from inputs to output and does not include waste or non-value added time.. The time to complete one unit includes both the VAT and non-value added time (ST + CT + transportation + inspection, etc.). Does this make sense?
Hi Mike, thanks for your question. Assumptions are key to answer your question.
First...a VSM is a snap shot of the overall process from true start to true finish and is used to figure out where you need to do improvement activities. As a result VSMs are not meant to be perfect. In fact, it is highly recommended you draw it out with paper and pen. Putting it in a diagram as I did is truly a waste...but I did it for the video. The goal of the VSM is to get general information so you can figure out your area of improvement in the overall VSM.
Second...when you collect your data for your VSM, you are going around asking for general information for a process step that will have multiple steps/activities within it. Most of the time organization do not have this type of data so when you ask for data for the overall process you need to make the assumption that what is being done is being transformed once. Remember, we are collecting high-level information to help us figure out where we need to make improvements.
Last, when you have the overall picture/snap shot, you then decide what area you plan on improving. This is when you get your detailed data through detailed process mapping. It is at this point when you will get your true VAT time as you will have the right level of detail to identify what is value added and non valued added by identifying the waste in the chosen process.
I hope this provided clarity.
@Adriana. Great video, but didn't you send the customer 25 sets of outdated books?
@GregorySmith First, thanks for watching. Second, so glad you were paying attention. 🙂
This is a mistake on my part when I was recording. You are correct and we would never send outdated books. 🙌👍 Cheers.
@@AdrianaGirdler The fact that you went through an example and showed step by step how you diagrammed your realistic problem is probably the best thing about the video. (I realize that is what you CALLED the video). Seeing the example worked out helps me learn how to apply it to my circumstances. Other videos, which merely show the viewer what diagrams look like aren't NEARLY as helpful. Great job! And if you had not sent 25 out-of-date books to the customer, I might not have written at all! Ha!
@@GregorySmithLJ So glad you did comment and that my video was useful. ♥
AMAZING CONTENT! THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching, cheers!
If you are mapping a complex SwitchGear build and there is waste within an assembly process, such as lack of materials. Do you categorise the waiting for materials as NVA within this part of the assembly and the actual building of the SwitchGear as VA? If so do these constituent parts, then add together to form the Cycle time for that part of the Overall Assembly? (NVA + VA = CT?) Ps thanks for the upload.
@williambarr Thanks for your question. Unfortunately for me to answer it correctly I need more info. I will make some assumptions and give a high level answer.
A1- waiting is one of the seven wastes. All waste is deemed NVA. When streamlining, the goal is to either eliminate, reduce or simplify. Building a part is NOT considered VA as the steps to build may have waste in the process. For something to be considered a VA activity it must change the function of a product or service, one time to meet the customer requirements.
A2- Cycle time is the total time for working on a product getting it transformed and ready to ship to the customer. Cycle time = net production time divided by number of units produced.
Hope this helped. Cheers!
Thank you

Happy to hear the value stream mapping video was helpful. Thanks for tuning in, Cheers!
Mam..from where are you getting the number of 175 books at last?? Coz the order was of 200 units?... i didn't get this last part
I total understand. I made a mistake and clarified it with a pinned comment and replied to another regarding the same questions. Please check it out.
