You're facing fluctuating production demands. How can you adjust your value stream map to keep up?
In lean manufacturing, a value stream map (VSM) is a visual tool that displays all the steps in a process, from raw material to finished product. It helps identify waste and opportunities for improvement. But what happens when production demands fluctuate? You might feel like your VSM is obsolete. However, with a few strategic adjustments, your VSM can remain an invaluable asset in managing change and maintaining efficiency, even when demand is unpredictable.
