Learning how to define a process is one of the critical aspects of identifying the improvement project or problem-solving projects.
Value Stream Analysis is the step after mapping: examining the map to find bottlenecks, wait times, and waste, and turning them into concrete improvements.
Process Maps and Flow Charts require particular symbols. From connectors to subroutines, see what’s needed to draw a process map.
FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) is a tool that helps us anticipate what might go wrong with a process and identify the possible causes.
Value Stream Mapping is a material & information flow map. It’s also a tool for visualizing processes that need improvement.
