value stream mapping

Definition

A way to keep track of goods and materials as they move through the product creation process that helps a business boost productivity and reduces waste. A typical value stream mapping process will begin with the delivery of raw materials, proceed through intermediate states of production, and then conclude with the creation of a finished product ready for sale to consumers.
