Value Stream Mapping
Manage What Matters—Focus on your Value Stream
“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”
Peter F. Drucker
Your business has its unique selling points, those strengths that set you apart from your competition. Knowing what those strengths are and focussing on what adds value is the first step to eliminating waste. Mapping your business processes enables you to quickly identify non value‐added waste; it is a key stage in reducing costs.
“If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you are doing.”
W. Edwards Deming
Mapping processes is a powerful way if visualising what is happening in your business. D’Accord Management Services uses tools that can help you to map your processes effectively. Business process mapping provides opportunities for your employees to become more effectively involved and to contribute their experience and ideas. This capturing of employees’ know‐how helps to maximise benefits and helps to ensure the adoption and effectiveness of any subsequent changes.
