What is Value Stream Mapping? Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a diagnostic tool used to differentiate those company wide processes that add value and create wealth from those that generate waste and ultimately reduce customer satisfaction. Value Stream Mapping allows us to visualise the flow of materials and information through our company and pictorially identifies areas of waste along the way.
