The Current State Map (see Figure 10.4) is a value stream from American Fidelity Assurance Company. This map detailed the waste within a claims benefit processing department. Through the mapping exercise, the mappers and Lean initiative team (as they are known within American Fidelity) identified multiple bottlenecks, as illustrated by the multiple inventory icons shown in the map. The multiple paths through the value stream highlighted the unnecessary processing, excess travel, and excess motion found in this process.
