Edwards Deming defined a system as “a series of functions or activities (sub-processes\, stages – hereafter co mponents) that work together for the aim of the organization.” He added that the flow chart (or process map) is helpful toward understanding a sys tem. Process mapping is a technique that provides a structured analysis of a process flow. It can be used to distinguish how work is actually being done from how it should be done. It’s very important to map the actual s ituation (“As Is” or “Current State”) to identify opportunities fo r improvement. Further study leads to mapping how the process “Should Be ” (or Future State) once improvements are achieved.\n\nMoving beyond bas ic process mapping\, Value Stream Process Mapping (VSPM) can be viewed as a means to expose waste that’s hiding in the organization’s systems an d processes. It’s used to quantify the flow of throughputs as well as wa ste\, rework\, queue time and other drains on resources. It is a technique that is easily and effectively applied in any type of process – manufac turing\, laboratory\, health care\, retail\, office\, school…\n\nJoin Ji m Leonard to examine clear guidelines to closely assess your current proce sses\, and effective tools for exposing opportunities for improvement that eliminate frustration\, errors\, delays and excessive costs.
