Value stream mapping (VSM) is a lean management technique that visualizes the flow of materials, information, and tasks through a process, helping teams identify bottlenecks and eliminate waste. These value stream mapping examples help you get started faster—allowing you to map current and future states, track key metrics like lead time and cycle time, and collaborate with your team in a shared workspace. In Creately, you can quickly customize each template, add notes or data where needed, and iterate as your process evolves—without slowing down the analysis.
