For the tens of thousands of users of value stream mapping at the
facility level, Seeing the Whole provides the logical next step,
extending the field of view all the way up and down the value
stream. In this new action guide, Dan Jones and Jim Womack,
co-authors of the best-selling Machine That Changed the World and
Lean Thinking provide a management tool for identifying and
removing waste along the entire value stream from raw materials to
end customer.
By identifying all the steps and time required to move a typical
product from raw materials to finished goods, the authors show that
nearly 90 percent of the actions and 99.99 percent of the time
required for the value chain's Current State create no value. In
addition, the mapping method clearly shows demand amplification of
orders as they travel up the value stream, steadily growing quality
problems, and steadily deteriorating shipping performance at every
point up stream from the customer.
Applying the method to a realistic example, the authors show how
four firms sharing a value stream can create a win-win-win-win-win
future in which everyone, including the end consumer, can be better
off.
