Value Stream Mapping (VSM)

Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a visual tool which has been successfully deployed
across many industries, enables all the activities across a specific value stream to
be clearly identified and quantified.  Value Stream Maps have been especially
successful when applied to value streams crossing organizational boundaries,
quantifying process integration improvement opportunities across suppliers /
customers.  Value Stream Mapping is the basis on which performance improvements
can be identified, prioritized and designed to deliver the greatest benefit.

The value of VSM in the manufacturing environment and how it has been utilized in the
exploration and production industry will be addressed.
