Value Stream
Mapping
The opportunity:
You can’t really improve your operations until you can see them — until you can get a truly complete and holistic view. A view that spans silos, departments, facilities and regions. Value Stream Mapping gives you that view. A view of goods, platforms and information — everything that moves in, out and through every segment of your network. It lets you see — really see — what’s going on.
Over time, it’s likely that you’ve developed standard operating procedures for the different functions and processes of your supply chain. But behaviors change in the operation and operators deviate from standard operating procedures.
By giving you a complete view — a detailed physical map of every aspect, large and small, of your entire operation as it presently stands — we can help you find new ways to improve efficiencies, product quality and overall operating margins.
What we do:
You may suspect that your supply chain has some inefficiencies, but where exactly are they?
We can help you find them and fix them by collaborating with you to create a Value Stream Map. It’s an easy-to-understand graphical depiction of your entire supply chain and includes all product, platform and data flows. This includes movements to and from your suppliers, DC-to-DC movements, DC-to-store movements and movements to reverse logistics centers.
Working with you in collaborative sessions, we’ll create your Value Stream Map through extensive on-site investigation as well as our proprietary Network Value Map software.
We’ll provide you with thorough documentation of all aspects of the current state of your processes, including DC and store level facilities and transportation networks.
With your map in-hand, we can help you benchmark your various facilities’ performance against one another. We can work with you to identify best practices as well as the root causes behind network inefficiencies. And we can help you uncover new ways to improve efficiencies and operating margins.
A Value Stream Mapping initiative can bring clarity to your entire supply chain network or to your supply chain within a local facility or region.
No one has been inside more facilities than we have. Our Lean Six Sigma experts have seen so many processes that they can quickly identify ways to improve how your supply chain operates. They’ll help you both fix problems and apply best-in-class techniques or processes that can help you avoid problems in the future.
Recovering money you
didn’t know was lost.
This is the
Supply Change.
™Global Good: A Value Stream Map can help you root out inefficiencies and waste that are harmful to the health of our planet.
