Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a structured multiple-day event led by a facilitator in which a team of participants map out the entire chain of processes in detail from beginning to end.

• This method provides a thorough, high-level understanding of an entire process and helps identify future areas for improvement.
• The VSM Event is typically used to develop a road map to guide future Rapid Improvement Events that target specific areas where improvement is needed.
• VSM Events emphasize planning and prioritization of future activities.
