The value stream is the entire cycle of product delivery from its order by the consumer to shipment from the finished product warehouse.
The task of managers in the Lean flow is to synchronize the speed of all processes:
– order processing;
– design;
– procurement of materials;
– production of the product;
– quality control;
– packaging;
– delivery to the customer.
All elements of the system should work like a Swiss watch, turning chaos into a controlled flow 🙂
