Value Added Activity
any action that transforms information or material into a product of value to the customer.
Value Stream Map (VSM)
a visual tool used to document the flow of products of services through a system. The VSM differentiates the value-adding activities of a system from the non-value-adding ones. Recording the time taken for each activity shows what percentage of valuable time an object or person spends in a system. Any non-value-adding time indicates an opportunity for possible improvement within the system. The VSM shows the process flow from order to delivery and includes - a) information & material flow, b) product throughput & cycle times, c) resources utilized, d) value added times and e) location of significant waste.
