VSM Future State from Laboratory Learning Solutions on Vimeo. The last step is to develop a future state map. The improvements from the Current State are identified, implemented and as a result, steps are omitted, waste is eliminated and turn around time is improved. The process is redesigned for workflow efficiency and lead time, cycle time, […]
