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,

VSM: Waste Elimination from Laboratory Learning Solutions on Vimeo. Once the current state VSM is complete with metrics we will begin to note defects, waste and inefficiency. This waste is usually buried in a non-value add process. Based on identification of defects, we note the opportunities in the form of a kaizen burst. A kaizen
