Process Mapping and Analysis

In this session you’ll learn why to map processes and learn ways to map processes, such as: block diagram, flow analysis, VSM, and process simulation modelling. You will also learn how to choose the mapping, depending on the purpose you want to achieve.

This section is devoted to one of the most effective tools for process mapping: flow analysis. This lesson is  about the three basic stages of flow analysis, and using a concrete example you will learn how to use this tool. You will also learn good practices, which are worth keeping in mind when starting flow analysis. 

In this section, a process mapping tool - Value Stream Mapping - is presented in detail. In this lesson you will learn what a VSM tool is and why it is so popular with growing companies. Then we will tell you how to choose the right mapping product, discuss the main steps of value stream mapping and, using a specific example, summarize the current state after the VSM workshop.

This session is a continuation of the previous one. This time we look at the redefined current state, look for opportunities to improve the value stream, and propose optimization actions that bring us closer to the target state.
