Value stream map templates
Native value-stream maps (VSM) for lean process analysis. Declare process boxes with their data — `process Weld { ct: 45s; co: 30m; uptime: 85%; operators: 2 }` — and the inventory or wait time between them, and the engine draws the timeline ladder and COMPUTES what the map exists to show: total lead time, total value-added time, flow efficiency, and the takt comparison. The one process diagram whose numbers are an analysis rather than a caption.
Value Stream — Emergency Department
Current-state map of an emergency department running 320 patients a day, computing the 6.7-hour lead time against 93 minutes of clinical work and naming imaging as the capacity constraint.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Automotive Door Line
Body-in-white front door line from steel coil to trim, showing the classic ~1% flow efficiency of a batch-and-queue plant and marking the paint shop as the monument that breaks takt.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Deployment Pipeline
Commit-to-production flow for a team shipping twenty changes a day: 2 hours of work inside a 1.3-day lead time, with a 50% rolled throughput yield exposing how much rework code review and the integration suite create.
Operations & OpsValue Stream — Mortgage Approval
Mortgage origination from application to funding: 4.7 hours of processing spread across a ten-day lead time, with a 35% rolled throughput yield quantifying the rework loop caused by incomplete documents.
Business & StrategyValue Stream — Restaurant Kitchen Line
Dinner service from ticket to table at a declared 45-second takt, the rare stream with 60% flow efficiency, showing three of the five stations unable to keep pace with the pass.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Warehouse Fulfilment
Pick-to-despatch flow for 4,200 next-day parcels a day at a 13.7-second takt, showing a well-balanced stream where no station breaks takt yet only 2.5% of the lead time adds value.
Operations & OpsValue Stream — Motor Insurance Claims
Motor claim from first notification of loss to settlement: 2.4 hours of handling inside a 9.5-day lead time, with damage assessment identified as the constraint and a 50% rolled throughput yield.
Business & StrategyValue Stream — Semiconductor Fab Module
Metal-1 module of a 300 mm logic fab: under ten minutes of tool time buried in a 1.5-day module cycle, with CMP over takt at 72% uptime and a 95% rolled throughput yield across five steps.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Speciality Coffee Roastery
Green bean to palletised bag at 4,200 kg a week, where the mandatory 12-hour degassing rest and the green-store inventory swamp three minutes of processing per kilo.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Postgraduate Admissions
Postgraduate application to enrolment across a 41-day cycle in which under three hours of assessment happens, with the interview panel over takt and a 42% rolled throughput yield.
Operations & OpsValue Stream — Hospital Blood Transfusion
Sample-to-transfusion pathway for a 96-unit-a-day hospital blood bank, computing a 10.6-hour lead time against 69 minutes of laboratory and bedside work with the reception backlog worth 6.5 hours at takt.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Vaccine Fill-Finish Suite
Bulk drug substance to released pallet on a sterile suite running twenty lots a week, where an eight-hour aseptic changeover and the fourteen-day sterility hold leave flow efficiency near 2%.
Lean & FlowValue Stream — Adult Passport Renewal
Application-to-despatch flow for a passport office clearing 21,000 renewals a day, where under 47 minutes of hands-on work sits inside a four-day lead time and examination is the constraint that still holds takt.
