## What is Lean Value Stream Mapping Rpt?

Value Stream Mapping is the visual management and representation of a current and future state for waste identification and elimination relative to common processes, customer, or some other attribute or function (i.e., value stream).  This app allows you to document current process attributes of cycle times, number of process workers, QCO, value added, value enabled, or non-value added, type of waste, notes, images, etc. displayed in the appropriate process box.  Each process box allows for either the activities/attributes to be summed for a process box total cycle time or the process box can have a single cycle time for all attributes/attributes.   Future state maps created from a copy of the Current State map allow for comparisons of value-added times, total cycle times, total lead times, and total delay/queue times.  This app provides fundamental information on how to create a value stream map as well as providing the ability to document all process attributes and wastes in a standardized, customizable, and sharable format on the cloud.  

The Dynamic Kanban Action Item Board allows Action Items to be visually managed using 4 “buckets” of To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done allowing for Assignor to track progress by a simple drag and drop function to each bucket.  Emails are automatically sent to Assignee(s) for all Action Items.

The 4 buckets functions as follows:

To Do – The Assignor will create the Action Item and reside there until the Assignee receives the email notification and acknowledges receipt to the Assignor via email or text.  The Assignor then moves it to In Progress.
In Progress – The Assignee will work on the Action Item and once completed notify the Assignor.  The Assignor then moves it to In Review.
In Review – The Assignor will ensure the Action Item is completed and move it to Done, or if not completed, make comments and move it back to In Progress, and subsequently notify the Assignee.
Done – The Assignor moves the Action Item to Done once they are satisfied that it has been fully completed.  

Beyond educational purposes, this app provides suggested activities for creating a customizable and standardized use of a Value Stream Mapping report and Action Item tracking. 
 
This app features:

An overview (Learnings) of the importance of data collection relative to value stream mapping.
A standardized approach and application of the Value Stream Mapping Report.
Access to case studies and Sensei tips for further understanding.
Access to the Value Stream Mapping tool/report with the ability to have process boxes with sum of cycle times for all process steps or for each process step, adding attributes, 
Receive awards for completing Action Items, Reports, etc.
Record, assign, and track Action Items with the visual management Kanban board.
View a Value Stream Map displaying the processes, queue times, and wastes.
Create the Value Stream Mapping report and share via PDF.
Take a Quiz to determine knowledge attainment.
Review a video tutorial to assist in understanding how the app works.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool that allows you to visualize process flow via a value stream map

*2024-06-08*

This VSM app is a versatile and powerful tool that facilitates the analysis and optimization of processes within any industry. It enables users to visualize and understand the flow of materials and information, identify inefficiencies (wastes), and implement targeted improvements via Kaizen Events to streamline operations and enhance value to the customer. It takes a little getting use to creating a value stream map on a device, but it works (using it on the iPad made it much easier to enter data).

**Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback!

### 5/5 — FINALLY a way to create a value stream map on your mobile device and share!

*2024-05-29*

This app went beyond my expectations! I rarely do reviews but must comment that the developers did a super good job in the design and functionality of creating a sequential value stream map.  Each process also has the ability to have a total cycle time for the entire process, as well as an option to have each process step as a separate cycle time, which then is totaled.  Also, each process can be tagged with images as well as wastes. The output is a typical value stream map.  This app only allows for sequential processes to be documented.  This is a superior app in my opinion.  I just wish I could use it on my Desktop.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate the feedback. For the Desktop version consider LeanFITT which has 21 Lean Sigma tools available on the Desktop as well your mobile device.
