! Value Stream Planning
A typical value stream plan looks like a cross between
an action plan and a Gantt chart (a planning chart that
depicts the expected duration of tasks). The value
stream plan sets forth the work that will be conducted to
improve the value stream over an entire year.
In many cases, the facility creates a lean promotion
department to oversee a team of value stream managers.
These managers lead those who are operating the
process, encouraging them to take responsibility for cost
factors, quality considerations, and product delivery,
while also mapping and leading implementation of the
future state map.
