Value stream industrial engineering is concerned with design, installation and improvement of value streams to specify, evaluates, measure, analyze and improve the results to be obtained from the value streams.

Organizations have increasingly realized that customers view them as 'value creation units'; however, the existing push systems predominant in many organizations fail to satisfy customer needs from multiple perspectives

 Defining Value Stream 

A value stream is defined as all the value-added and non-value-added actions and/or information currently required to bring a specific product, service or combination of products and services thorough all the business processes such as concept design to launch and production from raw material to customer.

[Sullivan, W.G., McDonald, T.N. and Van Aken E.M., 2001, "Equipment Replacement Decision and Lean Manufacturing", Proceedings of the 2001 International Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing Conference.]

Value Stream Mapping is set of charts,  a visual depiction of processes  a product and/or service goes through as well as information making its way through value-adding and non-value-adding processes in the value stream.

Ohno highlighted seven types of wastes (overproduction, transportation, unnecessary motion, unnecessary inventory, inappropriate processing, waiting, and defects) to be attacked during his stewardship of Toyota Motors. Seven original Value Stream Mapping Tools were proposed by Hines to do process mapping of value streams and identify the typical wastes.

Value steam industrial engineering has to convert proposed design of value steams into various charts required for analysis. Before that, industrial engineers may be asked to provide specification for various results to be obtained from the value stream to be designed,

For a proposed value stream design they evaluate the results expected and compared them with specification given for design.

As the value stream is in operation, they measure the results obtained.

They improve the value stream in various ways throughout the life of the value stream,

Important Point.

To understand value stream and improve it, we have to use multiple charts and diagrams.

Action Item.

Develop multiple charts for the value streams of your organization.
