Value stream map tools are lean thinking tools, used to identify waste– inefficiencies, redundancies, and unnecessary steps in a process. They allow organizations to lay out their operations in a visual format and gain a more thorough understanding of their current state.

Simply tap into our free value stream map template and complete the following steps:

Find a focal point – Determine what value stream you’ll be mapping.

Ensure that your information is reliable and up to date by consulting with each department involved. On FigJam, sharing data is intuitive since every team can log onto and deliver feedback to the map itself.

Fill in the relevant data – Populate your map with data from each process step—wait times, number of employees involved, yields, and number of defects to name a few. This information will differ depending upon your industry.

Break it down – Observe your compiled data, and do the math. Take what you’ve learned and use it to eliminate waste from the process flow.
